Ricotta Almond Cake

 

 

 

Servings: 8-10
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45-50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, and eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest (if using), and salt. Mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

This Ricotta Almond Cake is wonderfully moist and has a delightful texture from the almonds on top. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea!
