Raspberry-Ricotta Cake with White Chocolate and Almonds image

Baking this cake for a longer period of time at a lower temperature allows for a more even bake without the worry of overbrowning. This cake is on the denser side, with a somewhat pound cake-like texture. It tastes great the next day with a hot cup o' coffee!

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ cups whole milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
⅔ cup sliced almonds, divided
⅔ cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add ricotta cheese, vanilla, and almond extract and beat until thoroughly incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients.
  • Measure out 1/4 cup raspberries and 2 tablespoons sliced almonds; set aside.
  • Add remaining raspberries and almonds to the batter, along with white chocolate chips; gently fold to combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle reserved raspberries and almonds evenly over top, followed by turbinado sugar.
  • Place the pan on top of a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 85 to 90 minutes. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then gently run a table knife around the edges to loosen, and remove sides. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and will give your cake the most vibrant color. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the sweet and tart raspberries. You can find a recipe for cream cheese frosting in the article.

Conclusion:

This raspberry ricotta cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tart flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
