Orange Ricotta Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients
Recipe:
Chocolate Ganache (Optional)
Method
Recipe:
-
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
-
Grease and dust with flour a 25cm bundt tin.
-
In a large bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and stir until combined.
-
In a medium bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix together until smooth.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until fully combined (don't over-mix the batter). The batter will be quite thick.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt tin, smooth the top with the back of a spoon to even it out, and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer stick inserted in the middle comes out clean with no crumbs.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
Chocolate Ganache (Optional):
-
Put the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.
-
Heat the cream in the microwave to a nearly boil and pour over the chocolate.
-
Leave for a few minutes until the chocolate softens then stir with a hand balloon whisk until smooth.
-
Pour over cooled cake and decorate as desired.
-
Enjoy!
Note
Cake can also just be dusted with Icing Sugar instead of being covered with the ganache.
