This is a rather dense slice, great for afternoon tea or morning tea, it's not extremely sweet. A couple of weeks ago, I made some blueberry butter cream, and I had some left over, about a cup, that's stored away in the freezer.
Cake:
1 cup blueberry butter cream (it's sweet enough and there's no extra sugar in the cake)
2 large eggs
100g ricotta cheese
200g self raising flour
200ml milk
Ganache
80g Dark Chocolate - 70% cocoa
120ml thickened cream
The whole thing is rather easy. Warm up the butter cream a little, so it will soften up, beat up the eggs with the butter cream, mix in milk and sift in flour. Fold in the ricotta cheese. I put it in a greased square tin, because I want to make slices. Bake in 190C oven for around 30-40 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.
To make ganache, I simple just bring the cream to a slow boil and pour over cut up chocolate chunks. Once smooth, pour over the cooled cake.
Cut into slices, and enjoy with coffee or tea.
This recipe looks so simple and delicious! Thanks for sharing!
