- Buon Giorno A Tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), bakes up a delicious Italian Ricotta Almond Cake. Here are the ingredients that you will need:
- 1.5 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1.5 cups of sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp of almond extract
- 1 pound of firm ricotta
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup of chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup of sliced almonds (topping)
- icing/powdered sugar for dusting
Place 1.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and mix.
In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup butter (softened at room temperature), 1.5 cups of sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Blend for about 3 minutes so it is nice and creamy. Add a teaspoon of almond extract. Then add a pound of ricotta. Nonna likes to make it herself because she prefers to have th well strained / very firm. If you would like to see how I make ricotta, click here: • Homemade Ricotta - Eas...
Of course you can use store bought ricotta, but you might want to strain it to remove excess water in the ricotta. It's an optional step - Nonna prefers a denser consistency. Either way, be sure it is whole milk. The fat adds to the flavour and texture. You will want to blend in the ricotta for a few minutes, until nice and creamy, and in doing so, it incorporates air.
Next add in 2 eggs, one at a time, while continuing to blend. Then add in 3/4 cup of chopped almonds.
Lastly, slowly add in the dry ingredients until well-blended.
Pour into a well-sprayed 9" springform pan and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sliced almonds on top.
Bake at 350F for about 45-55 minutes or until the center is firm and comes out clean when tested with an uncooked strand of spaghetti or linguine etc. Of course you can use a toothpick, but Nonna always uses pasta strands! :-)
Once cooled, dust the cake with icing sugar / powdered sugar.
Buon appetito!
