Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the ricotta cheese, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice.
Tip
For the best texture, ensure the ricotta cheese is well-drained before adding it to the batter.
