When breakfast requires cake....this is the way to go! You can tell yourself you are in fact eating breakfast, all the while, secretly knowing you are eating cake. Sort of. If you wanted to get a bit decadent, you could skip the ricotta part of this topping and go full on cream cheese...the recipe would be doubly delicious. Gotta love cake for breakfast, no matter how you manage to convince yourself it's ok!
