Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
4 fresh figs, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 fresh fig slices
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat ricotta cheese, sugar, and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by almond extract. Beat in flour mixture on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl until combined; beat batter for about 30 seconds more.
  • Place chopped figs into a bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over, and stir to coat. Fold figs into the batter. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Place fig slices on top of the batter, down the center.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Remove from the pan once the cake has cooled, 20 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the ricotta cheese was too bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The ricotta cheese gave it a nice tang, and the figs added a nice sweetness. I would make it again, but I would use less sugar.
