Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a small baking dish.
2. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the honey until pale and slightly frothy.
3. Add the ricotta and the grated zest of half an orange, then whisk until the mixture is smooth.
4. Sift in the oat flour, whey protein, baking powder and a pinch of salt, folding gently until well combined.
5. Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks and stir them into the batter.
6. Pour the mixture into the dish and bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool completely before slicing to allow the ricotta structure to set.

Tips

• For a more intense flavour, add a squeeze of the orange juice directly into the batter.
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; it tastes even better the next day when the aromas have settled.
