Lemon Ricotta Cake Recipe - The Pasta Queen

Lemon Ricotta Cake. The perfect tangy and delicious Italian cake for anytime of the day.

Ingredients:

-  400 g of all purpose flour
- 400 g of sugar (preferably brown sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 lemons
- 400 g of fresh ricotta cheese
- Orange blossom essence
- Baking soda 3 tsp
- vanilla powder
- powdered sugar (for garnish)
- If you want the baking soda I use, (instead of the baking soda and vanilla) click the link below.

Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking soda. (Make sure to mix it very well so the baking soda is distributed evenly throughout the cake.)

3. Mix in the ricotta cheese by hand. (you don’t need to drain it as the water from the cheese will be great for the dough).

4. Mix in one large egg.

5. Add the zest of two lemons.

5. Mix in the juice of two lemons.

6. Add a few drops of orange essence to add to that delicious flavor.

6. After the dough is a smooth consistency, butter your cake pan. (We are using a 23 cm springform cake tin)

7. Pour your batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.

8. Bake for 40 min at 350 degrees.

9. Let it cool and enjoy!

Useful tip:
Sprinkle some powdered sugar ontop and add a flower for that gorgeous look! Just like you are.

This show really is amazing. (I came via Lucrezia). It's probably the best and funniest cooking show ever, even better than what Robert Rodriguez did a while back. Can we have a Fabrizio guest appearance? I kinda miss him, eventhough Pasta Bro definitely has a good thing going. Also, it would be great to have parralel episodes in Italian for us Italian students.
