directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat together ricotta, oil, and sugar, mixing well. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda; add to ricotta mixture in batches, alternating with the yogurt, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour half the batter into prepared pan.
- To make filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon. Sprinkle half over the batter in the pan. Add remaining batter and top with remaining filling.
- Place pan in the centre of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out dry.
- Let the pan cool on a wire rack. After cake has cooled, sprinkle with icing sugar, if desired.
- Tips:A 9-inch springform pan can be used instead of a Bundt pan; check the cake at 30 to 40 minutes to see if it needs to bake a few minutes longer.

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
