For the chocolate sponge:

200g/7oz caster sugar
3 large eggs
200g/7oz self raising flour
1 rounded tsp baking powder
3 rounded tbsp cocoa powder For the filling:
2 x 250g ricotta cheese
around 80g/2? oz sugar, to taste
1 handful of mixed glace fruit
1 tin of cherries, drained
100g/4oz chocolate, broken up
1 handful of flaked almonds
2 heaped tbsp good coffee beans, bashed up
Voorbereiding:
Bereidingswijze:
1 Line two 10"/25cm cake tins with greaseproof paper and rub with a little butter. In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Mix well and divide into the cake tins. Cook for 7 to 8 mins at 180C/350F/Gas 4 until firm but soft.
2 To make the filling: add the ricotta to a food processor and blitz with the sugar until shiny and smooth.
3 Scoop into a bowl, add the chopped fruit, cherries, chocolate and almonds and stir together. Now add the coffee to taste (bash the the beans using something heavy wrapped in a tea towel, or use a coffee grinder). Whip the egg whites and fold into the ricotta mix.
4 Turn out the sponge whilst it′s still hot and cut it into 8 wedges. Line a shallow round bowl, about 23cm/9", with two sheets of clingfilm, making sure it fits the shape of the bowl.
5 Then fit half of the sponge pieces around the insides of the bowl (as you would if it were a summer pudding). Drizzle with Grand Marnier, then pour in the ricotta mix. Level it out, then place the remaining sponge over the top. Drizzle again with Grand Marnier.
6 Pull the clingfilm over the top and weigh it down with some plates, pushing down on them before placing in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
7 Serve this semi freddo (semi frozen), dusted with cocoa powder and sliced into wedges. If it′s very frozen then that′s fine; just pull it out of the fridge when dinner is served so it can slowly thaw as you are eating.
