This week has been a little nerve-wracking, especially today, and I feel like getting a treat for myself and for my family - we deserve this. We went shopping the other day at our favorite local Albertsons store, to stock up on O Organics® products so I can now make us a super tasty glazed ricotta chocolate coconut cake, and share it with you.
I know that holidays are the times when we always feel happy and elevated in mood, ready for celebrations. Sometimes very unexpected things happen, and all you really want is to just get a treat instead of worrying about things. If you are feeling like this, then you have come to the right place. This cake will be an amazing treat for your holiday, and it is so easy to make, I hope you can try this recipe!
I loved making this cake with O Organics ingredients that just have an outstanding quality. What’s great about using good ingredients is that your final product will be even better than you would normally expect it. I am glad I can pick up O Organics products at the local Albertsons store, as they carry O Organics exclusively - either through stores or eCommerce (grocery delivery and Drive Up & Go) services. O organics offers more than 400 USDA-certified organic products at a great value. While I get my O Organics at my local Albertsons store, these products are also available at all of the Albertsons family stores, such as Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Express, United and Carrs/Safeway. Visit here to find a store near you and discover more meal prep tips and recipe ideas.
I love shopping at Albertsons because this store makes me really feel like I am a part of their family. The mood in the store is always so happy and festive, and allows me to relax in the store no matter what situation is happening in my life. The staff is always helpful to make me feel cared for - I know some of the staff by name, and they have watched my kids grow up as I continue shopping at their local store. It is a great opportunity to feel closer to your community, and this store is really making you feel positive about where you live.
I am also glad that I can rely on the O Organics brand to help me feel like I am eating healthier alternatives and very high quality products. Even when I am making a holiday treat! Albertsons follows a notion that awesome-tasting organic food should be available to everyone, and sold at a great value.
Whenever I feel like I need additional products that I don’t have yet, I love checking out what is available at Albertsons because I know that I can get the quality I am looking for there, and the products are still very affordable. The customer service is also very pleasant, and I really feel at home there. I just pop in whenever I need something, and I am instantly made to feel at ease at the store as I know where to find what I need, and the staff is so helpful.
When I am shopping at Albertsons, I know that I can get everything I need here for holiday baking, with more than 400 USDA-certified O Organics products in nearly every aisle.
Now for the cake! This cake has been a pleasure to make, hope you enjoy my homemade video of how to make it.
The pitfall for me was the glaze. This was the first time I was trying out this glaze recipe, and I wanted to just make it my way, so I didn’t wait for the glaze to actually set, so it definitely dripped all over. I did not despair though, and managed to save the cake by decorating it pretty on top, so even if you don’t manage to get a perfectly mirror-like glaze, I promise, no one will notice! Just throw on it a bunch of delicious candy, your family and guests will be floored!

I am not a coconut or ricotta fan, but my mom is!! I must share this one with her!!
This cake looks amazing and SO delicious! I think you did a great job decorating even if the glaze ran a little too much. It looks so festive and perfect for the holidays.
What a festive and delicious looking cake! I actually shop at Safeway and buy the same brand. I love it and find it affordable, which is always a plus. I’ll save this for later.
That looks so good! I’m not sure if I can ever pull off a cake this lovely! But it’s definitely worth a try. It looks really nice.
This looks like such a decadent dessert that is absolutely PERFECT for the holidays. Too bad my husband is allergic to ricotta or I would be making it this Christmas.
Ricotta chocolate coconut cake sounds just amazing! it came out great in your pictures too!
That cake is beautiful! I am sure it tastes heavenly too! All that chocolate and ricotta cheese! Wow! I would love to make this myself but I am not yet that confident with my baking skills. I will send this recipe over to my sister. She can make this for me.
We don’t have an Albertson’s nearby, but I do like that they’re heavy with organic. I love this chocolate coconut cake!
Your cake is beautiful I can’t believe you made that. So many details. My cakes are always very boring and simple, I might have to try this!
This looks delicious! My kids would love to help me make this and enjoy it together during family game night.
Wow, that’s a beautiful cake! I have seen the O Organics brand in another store (we don’t have an Alberston’s nearby). I’ll have to grab a few things the next time I’m at that store.
What a lovely dessert! I’ve always liked the combination of coconut and chocolate but I wonder how it goes with the ricotta! That’s enough to make me want to try this recipe!
this looks so rich and delicious. I can’t wait to try this and share with my friends.
That cake is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Definitely a great party go to. I would definitely love this.
This cake looks unreal. Love the that you used ricotta in there. I am loving the chocolate also. This is such unique and great recipe for the holidays or someones birthday.
I’m a big fan of the O Organics. We use them all the time in the recipes for our blog. This looks quite tasty, looking forward to trying the recipe.
Anything with coconut is my favorite, so I can’t imagine how amazing this coconut cake even taste. Ahhhhh! The picture speak for itself . I am definitely keeping this recipe and try it for the holiday festivities.
There are some Albertson’s near me though it is a smaller grocery chain in my area. But I’ve always had a good experience there. Wow, that is quite a cake. It looks like it has everything. And I’m a sucker for anything with coconut on top!
You have been so busy! This looks so amazing!
I have never heard of a ricotta cake. I have had it in cheesecakes. I wonder if it is similar. I guess I will have to try it to find out.
oh man this looks and sounds so delicious! I have actually never used Ricotta for baking before but I bet it is delicious!
Wow, how professional that cake looks. I do use O Organics in my baking too.
When I eat cake, I always want the best quality because I rarely have cake. Going by the quality Albertsons Organics ingredients, I would like to try and make this for myself and hopefully it will turn out as superb as yours.
I wish we had an Albertson’s near me because these organic products look great. Not to mention that cheesecake looks so festive. It’s almost too beautiful to eat.
This cake looks so amazing! I love how you decorated the top. It definitely looks like you purchased this from a baker.
I LOVE all things coconut! This cake looks so festive and sounds delicious, can’t wait to try it!!
This looks amazing! I I seldom eat cake, but I’ll definitely have to try this cake recipe in the future.
This cake looks and sounds fantastic! Even though Christmas is over I am making it soon!
