Raspberry Ricotta Cake
I repeatedly say that I am not a baker, but I seem to bake an awful lot for someone who doesn’t love it. However, when I do bake, it is often different types of bread, quick bread, cookies, or rustic cakes that can be pulled together quickly.
This cake is both easy and delicious. I made it as a breakfast option when we had family visiting, and we all enjoyed sampling it as a snack with coffee. Of course, you could always serve it for dessert, with a dollop of whipped cream to dress it up.
The ricotta cheese creates a very moist cake, so you need to refrigerate it after baking. Although I did use fresh raspberries, you could also use frozen raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or chopped strawberries.
Buon Appetito!
