Now prepare the coffee mixture by first whipping the eggs (which should be at room temperature) with the sugar until you have a frothy cream.
To the mixture just obtained, add the butter that was previously melted (at room temperature) and the coffee (also at room temperature). Mix thoroughly and add the sifted flour, baking powder, vanilla and cocoa. Mix everything very well (an electric whisk will make the work easier) and finally add the chocolate chips.
Pour the mixture of your coffee cake into the mold, which you have lined with parchment paper (or buttered and floured). On the surface, using a spoon, spread the ricotta and chocolate cream that you have removed from the refrigerator.

Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and let it bake for 30 minutes. Before taking it out, check that the cake is well baked by performing the toothpick test.
