  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep 9-inch pie plate.
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Beat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until very light, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and almond extracts; beat until blended. Scrape down sides with a spatula. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Alternate adding flour mixture and ricotta mixture to the batter, beating briefly between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
