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.
