Ricotta cake (Torta alla ricotta) – is one of traditional Italian cakes. It is prepared with diverse ingredients: with lemons, oranges, barriers, caramel, nuts, chocolate, you name it.

This recipe for Ricotta, Raspberry & Pistachio Cake I found at the German culinary blog www.fifthfloor.kitchen, and it turned out incredibly tasty and tender. It tastes so homey, and its tenderest texture is a pure delight! It took us one evening to eat it all!
I slightly adjusted the recipe to my oven and teste and I am sharing it here with you.

You can use either fresh or frozen (no need defrost) raspberries depending on season.

This recipe is for a 18-20 cm pan, that is for not that large but quite high cake (as you can see from the photos). If you are using a larger pan – increase the amount of ingredients accordingly, otherwise you will end up with very low cake while it should be quite high to create this tender and soft texture.

Bon appetite! Treat your loved ones to this fantastic cake!
