Coconut Pumpkin Ricotta Cake

Pizazz your pumpkin dessert in the Thanksgiving lineup

It’s something else, this little cake. Not a dense bite in sight. We’re talking light and fluffy but with sass.

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbs. baking powder
  • 1 Tbs. pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbs. pumpkin extract
  • 1 Tbs. coconut oil (olive oil or butter)

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice seasoning, the coconut and a pinch of salt. Whisk to incorporate.
  3. In another bowl, combine the ricotta, two eggs and pumpkin extract. Whisk until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine.
  4. Grease a small pan or skillet with the coconut oil. Pour the batter into the skillet and top with a little more shredded coconut. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Slice and serve!
  6. Serves 6.
