To make filling and assemble cake, in medium bowl mix ricotta cheese, almonds, raisins, sugar, chocolate pieces, milk and orange peel. With serrated knife, slice pound cake horizontally into 3 equal layers. Place bottom layer on serving platter; spread with half the cheese filling, smoothing evenly. Top with middle cake layer and spread with remaining filling. Cover with top cake layer, cut side down. Smooth cake sides. Chill 1 to 2 hours.
While cake is chilling, make frosting. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate with cream and corn syrup, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; chill about 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally until thick and spreadable. Frost cake evenly to cover completely. Press almonds onto sides of cake.
