Directions

1
Adjust the oven rack to the 2nd level position (just above center) and preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray the sides and bottom of a 9-inch diameter springform pan with a flour-based baking spray and (optionally) dust with powdered sugar.

In a small bowl, toss the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Set to the side.1 cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

In a large-size mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract until well combined.3 Large Eggs,1 ⅔ cups Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese,3 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
5
With a spatula, fold in the whisked dry ingredients until just blended. Then stir in the melted butter and flour-coated mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. The batter will be thick and on the heavier side but airy.¾ cup Unsalted Butter

Spoon the batter into the prepared 9-inch springform pan and top with additional mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350ºF or until an inserted toothpick into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top of the cake should be light golden brown in color and puffy with golden brown sides that have slightly pulled away from the sides.

Let the cake cool for a minimum of 20 minutes before releasing it from the springform pan. Allow to cool completely, dust with powdered sugar (optional), and serve. Powdered Sugar
