Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 3/4 teaspoon salt

– 1 1/2 cups whole fat ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup melted butter

– 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen, quartered)
Instructions
1-Getting started with this Strawberry Ricotta Cake is simple and fun, ideal for home cooks and baking enthusiasts alike. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 9-inch pan to ensure easy removal later. This step sets the stage for a smooth baking process that delivers that creamy texture everyone loves.
2-In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, mix the eggs, whole fat ricotta cheese, melted butter, and almond extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For a fresh twist, fresh berries like strawberries add just the right burst of flavor to this base.
3-Now, gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the quartered strawberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool before slicing to enjoy its full creamy texture and fresh berry goodness. If youβre into more easy recipes, check out our guide to easy grill recipes for complementary ideas.
