Delicious Apple and Ricotta Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Start by placing the ricotta in a bowl and softening it with a fork. Add the egg, sugar, sifted potato starch with baking powder, and milk. Then, using an electric mixer, beat until you get a thick, smooth batter.
- Wash and peel the apples, then slice them thinly. Pour the cake mixture into a springform pan lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange the apple slices on top and bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about 40 minutes.
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely. Serve dusted with powdered sugar or brush with apple or peach jam for extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute ricotta cheese with mascarpone cheese or cream cheese for a similar creamy texture. If you're looking for a lighter option, cottage cheese can also work but will yield a different texture and flavor.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for longer storage; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing for up to 2 months.
If your cake is dense, it could be due to overmixing the batter or not incorporating air while mixing. Make sure to beat the ingredients just until combined. Additionally, ensure that your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder can prevent the cake from rising.
