Ricotta-Raisin Coffee Cake image

These few ingredients go together quickly so I can have a warm coffee cake to serve overnight guests for breakfast. If you don't have or don't like cardamom, substitute any sweet spice. I recommend ground nutmeg, cinnamon or allspice. -Carol Gaus, Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Categories     dessert

Time 1h57m

Yield 12 servings or 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups graham-cracker crumbs (pulse 8 to 10 whole crackers in the food processor or use store bought crumbs)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted, cooled, and pulsed in the food processor until coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 pounds fresh whole milk ricotta
1 1/3 cups sour cream
6 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix the ingredients together. Thickly butter a 9 or 10-inch springform pan and press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate, uncovered, while you make the filling.
  • Filling: Filling: In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the ricotta, sour cream, egg yolks, and flour until smooth (the mixture will remain a bit grainy from the ricotta). Add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla and blend until creamy. Fold in the raisins.
  • In a clean dry bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold them into the filling mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the top of the cake is set and dry to the touch, though still a bit soft in the center, 70 to 80 minutes. It should "shimmy" a bit when you shake the pan; it will firm up more as it cools. Let cool in the pan. The cake will deflate a bit as it cools. Cover and refrigerate the cake at least 2 hours. (Or refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 48 hours.) Remove the sides of the pan and serve cold.
