To check whether the crumbly ricotta and chocolate cake is done, do the toothpick test - simply insert it into the cake and if it comes out clean it means that the cake is ready, otherwise you have to bake it a little longer.

Ricotta is a great ingredient in many types of dish ranging from pasta to desserts; it is very versatile thanks to its creaminess and its neutral taste, and is used in quiches, pasta, stuffed pasta and in making creamy fillings for desserts.
