Preparation:
First prepare the dry ingredients. In a bowl combine ground oats, rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Next, prepare the wet mixture. In a bowl add the sweetener, applesauce, and ricotta cheese. Whisk with a mixer until smooth and creamy.

Beat in three eggs (one at a time), adding also some vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, and mix just until combined and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Fold in 1 cup raspberries, or any berries you prefer and gently incorporate into the batter.

Pour the batter into 8-inch or 20cm lined springform pan, and spread evenly. Place the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries on the top of the cake, and gently press them into the batter.

Bake at 350F (180C) for 50-60 minutes. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes, then slice and serve.

Enjoy!
