Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the ricotta cheese, sugar, and softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well, followed by the vanilla extract. Blend for another minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Fold in the raspberries, pistachios, orange zest, and juice using a spatula.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
