Ricotta Cake

Ingredients

1 1/2 C ricotta cheese

3 eggs separated

2 C sugar

2 1/4 C flour

zest and juice of one lemon

1 T baking powder

2 T milk

powdered sugar for dusting

Procedure

Mash ricotta, egg yolks, sugar. Add flour, paking powder, lemon zest andjuice. Stir in the milk. Beat egg whites then fold them into the mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes in a 9-inch cake pan.

Special Notes

Fairly low fat cake! Refrigerate after serving and should be eaten within a day or two. I need to try this cake with almond extract and ground almonds but still keeping a little of the lemon zest for zing. Also try lemon curd mixed with sour cream on top.
