For the Italian version click here!!!
Good afternoon everyone!!! Today another sweet recipe....I promise I haven't been eating just desserts recently, actually I'm on a diet too, but all my last savoury recipes where not really photogenic (not that my photos are really great anyway).
These mini cakes were very easy and quick to make, with just a few ingredients I had left over in the fridge.




MINI RICOTTA CAKES WITH APPLES AND DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS

INGREDIENTS for 5 mini cakes

• 100g ricotta cheese
• 1 small egg
• 3 tablespoons honey (or 50g sugar)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 30g corn flour (or plain flour)
• 1 apple 
• Dark chocolate chips
• A pinch of salt

Beat egg with honey (or sugar if you prefer), add the sieved ricotta cheese, the baking powder

and corn flour. Mix well all the ingredients. Slice and cut in small chunks the apple. Fold in the apple and chocolate chips into the cake mixture and spoon it into the moulds ( I used the briochettine moulds from Pavoni Idea).

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180ºC for 30/35 minutes. 

Insert a toothpick to check if the cakes are cooked.
