CHOCOLATE ITALIAN CAKE

Hi everyone.  Amber from rick•a•bam•boo again.  This month I made a Chocolate Italian Cake to share with you. Since we are new friends, you probably don’t know that I love cake.  I. Love. It.  So it was a no brainer that I was going to share a cake recipe with you.

When I came across this cake on Pinterest from Chew Nibble Nosh I was immediately drawn to it due to its multi-layer structure.  It is a chocolate cake, sitting on a layer of sweet and creamy cheese, all topped with a light and chocolaty whipped frosting.  It’s an Italian cake because of the cheese layer, which is made with ricotta.  So it’s not as smooth and creamy as cheesecake, but it is still delicious.
