2 tbsp sherry
1 cup cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 lbs ricotta cheese
6 tbsp rum
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
2 (1 oz) squares sweet chocolate, grated

Preheat oven to 350.
To Make Sponge Cake: Have the following ingredients at room temperature for at least one hour before baking; 6 eggs, lemon juice, orange zest, and sherry.
Separate 6 eggs and set the egg whites aside. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Beat in sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, and sherry or 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat until foamy.
Sift flour 3 times and fold into eggs yolks gently but thoroughly. Beat egg whites until foamy, add salt, and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold into yolks. Pour batter into one ungreased 9 inch spring form pan.
Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes. Test by pressing lightly with finger tip, if cake springs back at once it is done. Leave cake in pan to cool, and invert on a wire rack.
Once cake is completely cool slice into 3 layers and sprinkle layers with rum.

To Make Frosting: Cream butter with 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar. Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff and gradually beat into the egg whites the remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar. Fold egg whites into the butter mixture and add fold in 1 teaspoon almond extract.
Cover sides and top cake evenly with frosting. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serves 10.
