Berry Ricotta Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for metric measurements).
2
Next, take a deep-dish 9-inch pie plate and give it a light coating of grease to prevent sticking.
3
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until they're well combined.
4
In a small bowl, whisk ricotta cheese and milk until the mixture is smooth and even.
5
Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until it reaches a creamy consistency. Add sugar and continue beating until the mixture is very light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes have passed. Add vanilla extract and almond extracts; mix until the ingredients are well blended.
6
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, beating the mixture thoroughly after each addition.
7
Alternate adding the flour mixture and ricotta mixture to the batter, beating briefly between additions. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl again.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
9
Gently sprinkle strawberries and blueberries over the top of the batter. Press them into the mixture very lightly.
10
Sprinkle a layer of turbinado sugar over the top of the pie.
11
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 70 minutes have passed. If the top starts to brown excessively, cover it with foil to prevent overcooking.
12
Once the pie is done baking, let it cool completely on a rack before slicing and serving.
