Ricotta Cake with Cherry Jam – A Delightful Twist on a Classic Dessert

Desserts are the perfect way to round off a meal, and there are few desserts quite as satisfying as a slice of cake. However, there are only so many ways you can make a sponge or chocolate cake before they start to become a little predictable. That’s where the cake with jam comes in – a delightful twist on a classic dessert that is guaranteed to impress.

Ricotta cheese is a great ingredient for baking cakes, and it adds a creamy, tangy flavor that is perfect for desserts. This fluffy cake is made with equal parts ricotta, butter, and sugar, along with eggs, flour and a little baking powder to give it some lift. The result is a light and airy cake that is rich and satisfying, but not overly heavy.

But what really sets this cake apart is the addition of cherry jam. The tart sweetness of the cherry flavor contrasts beautifully with the creamy ricotta, making for a and unusual flavor combination. It’s also a great way to use up homemade cherry jam, or if you don’t have one, you can easily find some jarred ones at your local grocery store.

To make the cake, you’ll need to start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan and set it aside. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the ricotta cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and stir until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your cake will become tough and dry.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula. Spoon the cherry jam on top of the batter, swirling it gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing it and allowing it to cool completely on a wire rack.

This cake can be served on its own, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream. For an extra special treat, try serving it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

In conclusion, a ricotta cake with cherry jam is a delicious way to add a new twist to your dessert repertoire. The creamy ricotta cheese combined with the tangy cherry jam creates a unique and tasty flavor combination that is sure to impress. So why not give this recipe a try and indulge in a slice of this delicious cake today?
