About me

Ingredients

  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Light olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 2 ¾ cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup Dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar (for topping)

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and yogurt until frothy and well combined.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and olive oil to the wet ingredients and whisk again until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  • Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the batter, then sprinkle with dried cranberries and top with brown sugar.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. After 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
  • A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
