Chocolate and raspberry baked ricotta cake FAQ:
You will need an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan for this recipe. Make sure to grease it well and consider lining the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C), but baking times may vary depending on your oven.
You can use either fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding; this will help maintain their shape in the cake.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it, where it will keep for about a week.
If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can use cottage cheese blended until smooth as a substitute. Cream cheese can also work, but it may change the flavor slightly.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth batter.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best taste.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting to avoid it falling apart.
