Fiadone-Style Ricotta Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
• 3 eggs
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
3. Then fold in the sifted flour and salt until just incorporated.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
