Instructions
To make your Lemon Ricotta Cake, follow these simple instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Ricotta and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Eggs: Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure full incorporation.
4. Incorporate Lemon: Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the mixture and stir until evenly blended.
5. Prepare the Pan: Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Enjoy the cake plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with fresh berries for added flavor.
