Ricotta Strawberry Raspberry Cake

A tender, moisture-rich ricotta cake with fresh raspberries and sliced strawberries layered inside and atop. Uses adjusted flour and sugar amounts. Swaps butter for a yogurt-butter combo for added tenderness and tang. Baking time and temp tweaked for slight variations. Layers fruit inside, not just on top, for pockets of fresh bursts. Finished with powdered sugar dusted on release. Keeps refrigerated under a dome; best served slightly warm to unlock aroma. Common pitfalls: over-mixing ruins fluff, cold eggs dull texture, watch fruit moisture levels to avoid sog. A rustic, spring-like berry cake showcasing ricotta's creamy density and fresh fruit acidity.
