Steps:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Beat butter, ricotta cheese, sugar, olive oil, orange zest, and vanilla bean with an electric mixer. (There will be some lumps, not to worry.)
- Add dry ingredients and beat until light, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Cut the chocolate bar into small chunks. Fold in chocolate. I like to reserve a little to add to the top. I think that it looks pretty.
- Pour batter into two loaf pans, (mine came from Sur la Table) and sprinkle with the reserved chocolate.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. You can make this into 8 mini loaves, or one large loaf. The baking time will differ, so keep your eyes on it.

LIGHTER ORANGE RICOTTA CAKE
This Italian-inspired orange ricotta cake is moist, soft, and bursting with intense orange flavor from zest and fresh orange slices! The sticky caramel-like topping provides just enough gooey and citrusy sweetness, while the mild and fruity olive oil flavor balances the cake perfectly. No one will know it's healthier! Be sure to read through the post for top tips and additional information.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch baking pan very well (on bottom and both sides generously). Line bottom with round of parchment paper.
- Stir brown sugar and water together to make a thick, pasty slurry, then spread it very thinly and evenly across the bottom of the pan (I used the back of a spoon and kept smoothing the slurry over until it was nice and even).
- Arrange the orange slices on top of the brown sugar coating in bottom of the cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the ricotta, olive oil and vanilla. Add one egg at a time and whisk to combine.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt directly over the wet ingredients. Whisk or mix using a wooden spoon. Combine the sugar with the zest of two oranges and add that to the mixture. Mix again until batter is well combined (it may look a little thick and grainy. That's fine, but be sure it's well combined)
- Scoop batter into the prepared cake pan. Gently shake to spread evenly.
- Bake in heated oven for 45 minutes or more until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean (You should begin to check at 40 minutes or so, but this could take 1 hour to bake. You want to make sure the bottom has a nice deep caramel color but does not burn)
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes or so. Run a thin knife around the corners to loosen the cake, then carefully invert onto serving plate. (Some of the orange slices at the bottom may get stuck in the pan, gently pull them up and arrange them on the cake if needed. But this is why a well-greased pan is important).
- Let cool completely, then cut into slices. Serve as is, or add a dollop of creme fraiche or your favorite ice-cream. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9×5" loaf pan or a 10-12-cup Bundt pan (or spray with nonstick cooking spray). If using a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2" of excess on each side to help you lift the cake out of the pan. If using a Bundt, sprinkle the inside of the pan with sugar, including the center cone.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, and sour cream until combined. Add the oil and vanilla and mix until well blended. Whisk in the sugar, baking powder, salt, and zest until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour until just incorporated.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-65 minutes for the loaf pan, 40-55 minutes for the Bundt, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before unmolding and slicing.
