      Yield: 10 Servings
 
      1    Pound cake, loaf;
           -9"x5"
      2 c  Ricotta cheese
      4 oz Chocolate, semi-sweet
      1 oz Orange liqueur
  1 1/2 c  Raspberry jam
      2 c  Chocolate frosting; OR
      2 c  Whipped cream
           Toasted whole almonds (opt)
 
  Chill pound cake for 1 hour.  Trim edges and uneven pieces so cake is
  level on all sides and top.  Slice cake horizontally into 1/2" slices
  and place on serving platter.
  
  Force cheese through a sieve into a bowl and beat until smooth. Chop
  chocolate into fine bits in a blender. Mix chocolate bits with
  liqueur and jam.
  
  Spread a portion of cheese on the bottom layer; then spread that with
  a portion of jam mixture.  Repeat until all layers are used, leaving
  top plain.  Press down gently. Use a spatula to even all sides. Cover
  with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours.
  
  Before serving, frost with chocolate frosting or whipped cream and
  garnish with almonds.
