Everyone falls in love when they eat this cake, hence the name. It is loaded with layers and rich and creamy flavors. When you read the directions you might get confused because the cake layer goes on the bottom, but just follow the steps as written, the ricotta layer ends up on the bottom, because it is a heavier layer than the chocolate cake, so it naturally sinks down.
