Cherry Ricotta Cake

Every year I’m looking forward to the cherry season. Fleshy and juicy, cherries one of my favorite summer treats. There are so many things that I make with them: chilled drinks on a hot day, dumplings, pastries, cupcakes and, of course, my Cherry Ricotta Cake.

4 eggs

15 oz (425 g) Ricotta cheese

½ cup oatmeal flour

½ cup milk

1 ½ tablespoons baking powder

½ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

Step 1

Cut the cherries in half and pull out the seeds.

Step 2

Separate the proteins from the yolks and whisk the proteins with the ¼ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the peaks.

Step 3

In a big bowl mix together egg yolks, oatmeal flour, ½ cup of sugar, Ricotta cheese, milk and baking powder.

Step 4

Put the proteins in the dough and mix them very gently.

Step 5
