4
Remove cake from oven and poke holes 3/4 of the way through with the back of a wooden spoon.
5
Mix together sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened cocoa powder. Pour the sweetened milk mixture over the top of the cake, making sure it gets into the holes.

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours before frosting.

To make the frosting: Blend mascarpone & softened butter until just combined. Then add in the ricotta and vanilla and blend until combined. Then blend in cold heavy whipping cream until you get stiff peaks. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and blend. (If the mixture is too firm, you can blend in a bit more cream. If it's too thin, add in a bit more powdered sugar. NOTE, this frosting tends to have a thinner consistency.)
