Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Milk

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Filling Preparation

    Prepare Filling

    In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and chopped dark chocolate until smooth and evenly combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Pour half of the dough mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the ricotta filling evenly over the dough, then top with the remaining dough mixture.

  4. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
