Ingredients

¾cupgranulated sugar

5tablespoonsbutter, softened

3large eggs, at room temperature

¾cupwhole-milk ricotta cheese

3tablespoonslemon juice plus 2 teaspoons, divided

2tablespoonslemon zest

1teaspoonvanilla extract

¾cupall-purpose flour

¾cupwhite whole-wheat flour

1 ½teaspoonsbaking powder

½teaspoonsalt

1 ½cupsfresh raspberries

2tablespoonspacked confectioners' sugar

Directions

Beat granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and beat in ricotta, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla until combined.

Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to the ricotta mixture and beat on low speed until almost combined. Gently fold raspberries into the batter. Transfer to the prepared pan.

Bake until browned around the edges and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, then invert onto the rack. Carefully turn the cake right-side up. Let cool completely.

Whisk confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Brush the glaze on the cooled cake.

To make ahead

Using toothpicks to hold the plastic wrap away from the glaze, loosely wrap the cake and store at room temperature for up to 1 day.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
