Easy Italian Almond Ricotta Cake Recipe

Easy Italian Almond Ricotta Cake Recipe

  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar

  • 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese (full-fat for best results)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup (100g) almond flour (or finely ground almonds)

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (120ml) unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup (120ml) milk

  • Sliced almonds (for topping)

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Lightly dust the sides with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until light and fluffy. Add the ricotta cheese and mix until smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the batter. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: 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 with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
