In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Using a large rubber spatula, quickly and gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, until smooth. Divide the mixture between the two prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool completely in the pans set on racks. 3. Meanwhile, to make the frosting, in a food 9:31 PM
processor or blender, process the ricotta cheese, cocoa powder, espresso powder, sugar, vanilla, and salt, until smooth. Cover and chill the frosting until ready to use. 4. When the cake is cool, turn it out of the pans. With a
long serrated knife, split each layer in half horizontally and spread the bottom half of each layer with half of the apricot all-fruit spread. Carefully replace the top halves. 5. Spread half of the frosting evenly over the top of one
of the filled layers. Stack the second filled layer on top of the first. Swirl the remaining frosting evenly over the top of cake. Garnish with whole strawberries, if desired. To serve, cut the cake into 12 equal slices. -----
