Ricotta and Apple Cake
Here is an twist to the classic apple cake. Just as delicate and wholesome, but made with the addition of ricotta cheese to keep it extra dense and super moist. Every bite of this cake is packed with sweet apple pieces. For this recipe I added one extra apple than I normally would, and I cut the slices extra thin. Take a look at what I got…
Trust me, it taste just as good as it looks! Make sure to take a look at the ingredient list. Nothing unusual, but the classic eggs, sugar, flour, a little bit of butter… Apples and ricotta of course! I bet you have everything in the list right now (especially if you have a weak spot for ricotta cheese just like I do!).
This cake is ready in no more than one hour from start to finish. The only time consuming part is peeling and slicing the apples. Combine the ingredients, bake and sprinkle with powdered sugar when ready. Ready to try this too?!?
