Blackberry & Ricotta Cake Method:

  1. Set the oven to 175 degrees C (fan).
  2. Line a 9” cake tin. 
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, softened butter and vanilla.
  5. Whisk until very well combined - you may still have little lumps of butter, and that's absolutely fine. 
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir together until just combined, doing so nice and gently.
  7. Pour half the mixture into the tin and level off, then add half the blackberries, ensuring an even distribution.
  8. Cover with the remaining batter, then the rest of the blackberries, again ensuring an even covering. Push the top layer of blackberries gently into the batter with the back of a spoon. 
  9. Pop in the oven for 50 mins to an hour until golden brown and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool before dusting with icing sugar and digging in!
