RASPBERRiES RiCOTTA CAKES





 Today I'm not posting a video recipe so to redeem myself, i am making a yummy guilt free recipe instead. One of this delicious baby is only 200 calories and it is a really flavorful cake with a great texture. Perfect for breakfast, teatime, or anytime actually :p This works if you make 12 individuals muffins. You can actually make more then 12 if you want but I like it when you don't feel like you can finish the cake in two bites. Otherwise I feel cheated, don't you? Eating a cake is a very demanding job. Sometimes I wonder how I do it. You can also make one big cake instead of individual ones, it will take about one hour to bake.



In France, Mother's day is next weekend and this cake is my mum's favorite. Not because it's healthier then a usual cake (but i'm sure it doesn't hurt) but only because it's really good! This is a great basic recipe. You can use it as a start and then change things very easily: drop raspberries for blueberries or apples.  Add lemon zest for a bit of acidity... free your imagination and creativity ! That's what I like about cooking! (apart from eating of course ;))
