Healthy Ricotta Cake with Berries – 10 Minute Prep

If you’re a busy mom like me who loves easy, healthy, and delicious recipes, this ricotta cake is a must-try!

No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps – just a simple mix-and-bake dessert that’s ready in minutes. Despite how easy it is to make, the taste is incredibly creamy, soft, and satisfying. It’s always a hit at our house, and the best part? It only takes 10 minutes to prepare – then the oven does the rest!

Serve it warm or cold, and don’t skip the fruit topping – it adds such a fresh, juicy contrast to the creamy base.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g ricotta cheese

  • 4 eggs

  • 4 tablespoons honey (or more to taste)

  • 6 tablespoons semolina

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated lemon zest

  • 150–200 g fresh or frozen berries (e.g. raspberries, blueberries, sour cherries)

Yes, you see it right – where mom bakes, the little helper is always close – with a touch of Paw Patrol, of course!

How to make your Ricotta Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F (top-bottom heat).

  • In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, eggs, honey, semolina, and vanilla or lemon zest until smooth.

  • Lightly butter a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) ceramic or glass baking dish.

  • Pour the batter into the dish and smooth the top.

  • Generously scatter the berries over the top.

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.

  • Let it cool slightly before slicing. It tastes amazing both warm and chilled!

Extra tip? Yes, please!

If you like a tangy flavor, go for raspberries or sour cherries. For a sweeter version, try banana slices or peaches on top!
