This ricotta cake is delicious and very simple to make. The blackberries brings a nice taste and ricotta all the softness of the cake. It’s a cake that will please the entire family, adults as kids.
Well, it’s been a long time since I posted anything here! Neither on Instagram… I think this global crisis has destabilized me. Instead of just cooking and enjoying to being at home, I didn’t feel like it anymore. I lost the pleasure of food shopping because the outings were limited. But most importantly, being away from my family was the worst. I had planned to go and see them, but of course, I couldn’t. I still can’t, it’s a nightmare.
Then, a bit at the end of the lockdown, I started to work a lot as a photographer. I had absolutely no time or energy left to make a single recipe. Today, I really want to organize myself to get back to it much more seriously and intensely. It’s what I prefer to do, like a little bubble where I can do what I want and create the recipes that I love. I’ve got plenty of new recipes for you, I hope you enjoy them.
While I was on Pinterest, I came across the website of Bon Appetit magazine that I love with this recipe of ricotta cake. The ricotta was not really one of the ingredients I used regularly before arriving in the US. Oddly, I have the impression that it’s less present in France, but I may be wrong. So I started adding some to my gratins (especially with my zucchini gratin with ricotta pesto). And well seasoned, it can be very good and especially lighter than other cheeses.
When I saw this ricotta-based cake on the Bon Appetit site, I was very curious to know what taste it could have and especially what it brought to a cake. So I tried their version with raspberries and I loved it. The cake was super soft and light. I really wanted to share this recipe with you. Usually, I only post original recipes that I make myself but when I find them like this, I think I can share them with you. As the blackberries are delicious at the moment, I just wanted to change this ingredient, I find it a little less acidic.
I hope you like this recipe and din’t forget to follow me on Instagram @tastyandfrenchy. If you like fruit cake, try my peach moelleux!
