Ricotta Berry Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep 9-inch pie plate.
• Whisk all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Whisk ricotta cheese and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until very light, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and almond extracts; beat until blended. Scrape down sides with a spatula. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Alternate adding flour mixture and ricotta mixture to the batter, beating briefly between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with the spatula. Sprinkle strawberries and blueberries over the top. Press very gently into the batter. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cover with foil when top starts to brown. Cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Steps:

• FOR CAKE:.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9 inch spring form pan with foil, coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
• Add eggs, lemon extract, zest, ricotta and half and half. Beat until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Add the flour, mix until smooth.
• Pour batter into pan and spread the berries(still frozen) over the top of the cake.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and the cake is set.
• Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes then cool in refrigerator until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
• FOR SAUCE:.
• While cake is cooling mix the berries, sugar and corn starch together in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Puree the berries in a blender or with an immersion blender. Let cool.
• Serve a piece of cake with a spoon full of sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9"-diameter cake pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk eggs, ricotta, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth; fold into dry ingredients just until blended. Then fold in butter, followed by 3/4 cup raspberries, taking care not to crush berries. Scrape batter into prepared pan and scatter remaining 1/4 cup raspberries over top.
• Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before unmolding.
• Do ahead: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
