Raspberry & Ricotta Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170 degrees celsius (fan-forced).

Step 2

Grease and line a non-stick spring-form round cake pan (approx 20-22cm diameter) and set aside (you can use a non-spring-form pan, but I find they work best).

Step 3

Sift the plain flour and baking powder into a large bowl.

Step 4

Add the sugar and salt and stir to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, vanilla and melted butter together until well combined.

Step 6

Add ½ of the ricotta mixture to the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine.

Step 7

Add the remaining ricotta mixture and gently mix to combine.

Step 8

Add 1 cup of the raspberries and very gently fold through.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and place the remaining raspberries on top.

Step 10

Cook for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 11

If you find the cake is browning too much, gently place a sheet of foil over the top and return to the oven.

Step 12

Leave the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Step 13

Remove from pan before serving and dust with sifted icing sugar.
