Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 170°C fan bake. Line a springfrom cake tin with baking paper.
2.Cream the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add in the egg yolks, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Slow the beater, then add in the cornflour, ground almonds, ricotta, vanilla, lemon zest and salt, mixing to a smooth batter.
3.Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold into the cake batter until combined. Scrape into the prepared tin and smooth over the top.
4.Arrange the strawberries on the batter in a pattern you like. Sprinkle over the pistachios.
5.Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes, then rotate and cook for a further 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
6.Serve drizzled with fruit purée and yoghurt or cream.
Strawberries tend to discolour to a purple-grey when used in cake batters, but by putting them on top of the cake, they will retain their colour.
