1 small pound cake (10 ounces)
8 ounces ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light cream
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 cup chopped natural almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons mixed candied fruit, finely chopped
1 package (6 ounces) real semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
If top of pound cake is round, slice off top to make level, using sharp serrated knife. Cut cake horizontally to make 3 equal layers. Combine ricotta cheese, sugar, cream and orange extract in small bowl, beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add 1/4 cup almonds, candied fruit and 2 tablespoons chocolate pieces, finely chopped. Center bottom layer of cake on flat plate; spread with half of ricotta mixture. Gently spread third layer in place. Refrigerate 2 hours, or until ricotta mixture is firm. Melt remaining chocolate pieces with water in small heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat, stir in butter, one tablespoon at a time. Continue stirring until mixture is smooth. Refrigerate 1/2 hour until frosting is of spreading consistency. With a spatula, spread frosting thinly on top and sides of cake, swirling to decorate. Garnish with remaining almonds.
Chill at least 1/2 hour before slicing.
