Baking this cake for a longer period of time at a lower temperature allows for a more even bake without the worry of overbrowning. This cake is on the denser side, with a somewhat pound cake-like texture. It tastes great the next day with a hot cup o' coffee!

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add ricotta cheese, vanilla, and almond extract and beat until thoroughly incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients.

  • Measure out 1/4 cup raspberries and 2 tablespoons sliced almonds; set aside.

  • Add remaining raspberries and almonds to the batter, along with white chocolate chips; gently fold to combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle reserved raspberries and almonds evenly over top, followed by turbinado sugar.

  • Place the pan on top of a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 85 to 90 minutes. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then gently run a table knife around the edges to loosen, and remove sides. Let cool completely before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can use frozen raspberries as well but do not thaw them first.

It was even better than it looks. My raspberries were quite large so I added a few more than the two cups it called for. I will make it again....Everybody loved it. Read More
