Instructions soft vanilla and ricotta breakfast cake

  • For this recipe all the ingredients must be at room temperature. This also includes ricotta cheese.
  • Divide the whites from the yolks into two different bowls. Whip the whites until stiff and set aside.
  • Add the sugar to the egg yolks and whip with the mixer. Now add the soft butter and whip until all the three ingredients combine.
  • Add the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract or the seeds from a vanilla bean cut in half. Beat again to mix everything well.
  • Now add the egg whites and gently incorporate them with the movements from the bottom to the top using a spoon or a silicone spatula.
  • Sift all-purpose flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix with a spoon or a whisk until the batter is homogeneous and without visible traces of flour.
  • Line the bottom of a 20 cm wide round baking pan with a circle of baking paper. Grease the edge of the pan with some butter and dust it with flour. Add the prepared batter and distribute evenly.

Baking time

  • Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° for 50 – 55 minutes. Use the toothpick test to check if the cake is ready. If you use a larger pan, reduce the minutes needed for baking.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning the pan upside down and removing the cake. Let it cool completely before serving.
