In a large bowl, cream the softened butter stick, sugar, and ricotta cheese for 5 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
Pour batter into springform. Bake the cake for 45–55 minutes on the middle rack until a toothpick comes out clean. After 10 minutes of pan cooling, transfer to a wire rack.
Place one tablespoon of powdered sugar in a fine mesh strainer. The sieve should just cover the cake. Apply two teaspoons of little chocolate chips.
Chocolate Chip Ricotta Cake stays moist even after being made ahead of time. Up to a week ahead of time, just put it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
