Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese, at room temperature
½ cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 ½ tablespoons turbinado sugar

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.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This was the worst cake I have ever made. It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the batter.
