This Strawberry Ricotta Cake is the most delicious Italian-inspired dessert. The rich ricotta provides the cake with perfect moisture and density and the strawberries make the flavor pop. It’s almost like a combination between a cake and a cheesecake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch pan.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine eggs, ricotta, butter and almond extract until smooth; add dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in strawberries.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until golden brown and when a tester comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Let cool, then remove from pan, slice and serve.
