It's a cool rainy day; so that calls for cake! Or maybe that's just an excuse... either way, it's Sweet Sunday!
This week is a raspberry ricotta cake simply because I had left over ricotta in the fridge and couldn't think of any else to ensure it didn't go to waste.
It's a pretty simple and fairly labour-free dessert, so if you're looking for an easy dessert and have some ricotta hanging around, I'd recommend this.
Recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
- Nonstick vegetable oil spray (I used canola oil because that's what I had in the house)
- 1½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups of ricotta
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup of frozen raspberries or blackberries, divided
Directions:
01. Preheat oven to 350°.
02. Line a 9”-diameter cake pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
03. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
04. Whisk eggs, ricotta, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth
05. Fold into dry ingredients just until blended. Then fold in butter, followed by ¾ cup raspberries, taking care not to crush berries.
06. Scrape batter into prepared pan and scatter remaining ¼ cup raspberries over top.
07. Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50–60 minutes. (67 minutes if your oven is like mine and likes to let heat escape)
08. Let cool at least 20 minutes before unmolding.
Enjoy!
Hope everyone has had a good day.
