This is a wonderful and easy cake. I used 2 eggs instead of 4 in the ricotta and it is wonderful. Wrapping the cooled cake in plastic wrap overnight does make a good difference. I made a cream cheese chocolate and hazelnut frosting. It is really rich and impressive, but so easy! Everyone loves this cake.

This was a very good tasting cake. I had no problem getting the white layer to sink, just pour from a few inches higher. A+ & we're picky about chocolate cake.

This is an awesome cake. When I look at the picture here, I wonder how you get your frosting to stay so firm. Mine kind of glops over, but it is still delicious. The ONLY thing I changed was I added pink food coloring to the ricotta mixture. That way, it looks more like love (sigh).

In the words of my son "OHHHHH-EMMMMMM-GEEEEE!" This cake is my far my favorite...ever! I don't even want to look at the Nutrition Facts! Anyway....I made this with a marble cake because I am not a HUGE chocolate fan, other than that, I followed the directions exactly, and this cake is to die for! I have had it before, but it's been a while, and I had lost the recipe! So glad I found it here! Thanks!

This cake was good but it was missing a bit of a kick. I made this cake 2 times one was the recipe and the second one I added a bit of vermute in the ricotta mixture and it came out AWSOME. I added a teaspoon just to give it an extra kick. My hubby enjoyed it so much he wants me to make it for Father's day. Thanks for the recipe...

Made exactly as stated in recipe. The cake part was dry, the white cheese filling too salty, and overall lacked "depth" of flavor. It was improved after 2-3 days of chilling, but still not worth making again.

It's okay, but there's nothing special about it. Also, my cheese didn't sink, but it ended up being fine that way--I had baked it in two round pans...so when I stacked them on top of each other, I had a beautiful marbled appearance. I also put it on a glass pedestal and decorated it with violets and cherry blossoms, so presentation was paramount for me. (See the uploaded pictures of my cake.)

The best thing was the topping. I consider myself a better than average baker, and this was the pitts.

Made this cake for Easter and it was a hit. Very impressed with presentation and a nice blend of textures and flavors. Will definitely make again but would substitute either a real whipped cream topping or possibly a fruit topping. Didn't like the 'chocolate mousse' topping. Otherwise loved it: simple and delicious.
