WHAT IS LEMON RICOTTA CAKE?

Lemon ricotta cake is similar to a traditional lemon cake, however it is not as sweet and has a slightly denser texture. It’s a traditional Italian cake that is often served after the meal or with a piece of fruit for breakfast.

HOW TO MAKE FLUFFY RICOTTA CAKE

The key to making a fluffy (not dense) ricotta cake is to beat the ricotta with the butter and sugar, before adding the other ingredients. It can take up to five minutes of beating to get the desired texture, so a handheld mixer or stand up mixer is ideal here.

Ricotta cakes are notorious for being dense and having a texture similar to a pound cake. However, this simple task of taking the time to whip air into the ricotta can make a world of difference in how your cake turns out.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, softened 1 ½ sticks
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
