Almond Ricotta Raspberry Cake

This cake is a super easy cake that you can eat at any time of the day, even for breakfast. Moist and soft from creamy ricotta with a swirl of juicy raspberries and a touch of almond flour.

My daughter is 15 weeks old. Where the time flies?! I started to write this post when she was 6 weeks old, and I taught I’ll have more time for blogging, but I was wrong. First, she has colic and now she has trouble getting to nap over the day and I am beyond exhausted to do anything. I love her more than anything in the world and enjoy being a mother, but I just sometimes need time for myself. I haven’t baked or cooked anything special since she was born, and I miss it. The only thing I bake is a simple sponge yellow cake (dairy-free) with a bunch of different fruit, which is done in 30 minutes. I am planning to share that recipe too, but first I will have to organize my time better and ask my mother for help.

For this cake, you can use fresh or frozen raspberries, but if using fresh you need to cut down the baking time.
