« My daughter has made this cake several times. Its delicious »
Kellie - 12/26/2021« I have made this cake several times, and have always gotten rave reviews! I use mostly dark cocoa for the cake, and I usually make vanilla cream cheese frosting, which is easy. I’m certain that the Galbani ricotta cheese is what makes the cake so moist and delicious! I’ve even received the compliment “better than Grandma’s” »
