Fig-Ricotta Cake
Ingredients
nonstick cooking spray, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups whole-milk ricotta cheese, 1 cup white sugar, ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened, 3 large eggs, at room temperature, 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract, 4 fresh figs, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 4 fresh fig slices, 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed (Optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9-inch loaf pan. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cream ricotta, sugar, and butter until smooth, then beat in eggs and almond extract. Mix in the flour mixture on low speed until combined. Toss chopped figs with a tablespoon of flour, fold them into the batter, and transfer to the prepared pan. Arrange fig slices down the center and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the pan and dusting with confectioners' sugar.
