Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed omit if you don’t like it
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • cups ricotta
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries or blackberries divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9”-diameter cake pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Whisk flours, ground flaxseed, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, ricotta, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth; fold into dry ingredients just until blended.
  • Then fold in butter, followed by ¾ cup raspberries, taking care not to crush berries. Scrape batter into prepared pan and scatter remaining ¼ cup raspberries over top.
  • Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50–60 minutes.
  • Let cool at least 20 minutes before unmolding. Dust with confectioner's sugar.
