Delizioso. Grazie. I have made this cake a few times. The last time I added some Crema di Limoncello, and it took the cake to the next level. I urge you to give it a try.

Hi. Can you please clarify what cups you’re using? In the USA 1 cup of All Purpose is 120-125g on average so 1 1/2 cups would be 180g.
Are you weighing all your ingredients or using cups? I’d like mine to turn out like your picture. Thanks

[patrickwoods]

yeah, mine came out of the oven looking like this, but then soon deflated to half the size.

[bettyaranzazu]

Beautiful perfect cake 🍰 can you tell me why my cakes colapse after I take it from the oven

[anthonyspina]

Mine came out very dry and not moist at all. Any suggestions? Did I cook it too long (45min)? I was expecting a more soft but it felt more like a pound cake.

[jyotsanaparui]

Can we use home made paneer instead of ricotta cheese. Will the cake be baked properly

[suzannedesylva]

I am checking for the ingredients now! Will give them away as Christmas presents!

[upawar]

Could you please tell any other substitute for all purpose flour.

[MIGHTYRIVERS]

Add more baking powder, I use self raising powder and also add a teaspoon of baking powder . Adding lemon oil extract gives more lemony flavour, well just try and try again, good baking all**

[joanvargo]

Why do you put the ricotta through a sieve, ?

[karenmassinello]

I made it twice but never rises and seems under cooked.
