Chocolate Almond Ricotta Cake

18 ounces Ricotta Cheese
4 large eggs, separated
1 cup Imperial brand sugar
1 cup almond flour
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Imperial brand powdered sugar for topping

Preheat oven 350. Grease & flour a  spring form pan.

Melt chocolate in the top of a double broiler. Add the ricotta, sugar, almond flour cinnamon & vanilla to the chocolate and stir to combine. Mix in the egg yolks.

Beat the egg whites, in the bowl of a stand mixer, until you get soft peaks. Add the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and gently fold through until completely combined retaining as much air as possible.

Spoon batter into cake pan and smooth top. Bake for 25-35 minutes, remove from oven and cool.
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
