About this recipe

This is the cake nona made when she wanted something sweet but not heavy. Ricotta gives it that soft, creamy texture, while fresh lemon zest brings a clean, citrusy kick that lingers in the best way. It’s not too sweet, not too rich – just right. Best served with coffee, gossip, or both.

Tips & variations

Tip

Let it cool completely before slicing – it’s soft and tender inside. Also works amazing cold, straight from the fridge the next morning. If it lasts that long.
