Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf or bundt pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter into two bowls. Add cocoa powder and an extra splash of milk to one half for the chocolate layer. Alternate spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batter into the pan, then use a knife to swirl gently.
Bake for 50-55 minutes (for a loaf pan) or 45-50 minutes (for a bundt pan), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool before drizzling melted dark chocolate over the top and sprinkling with chocolate chips.
Slice and enjoy this rich, moist, and chocolatey masterpiece.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
