The combination of lemon and ricotta works magic in this cake and creates a lovely soft and light texture in this cake.I really enjoy it so much.
You can use my homemade ricotta cheese recipe as well.
- Take milk in a sauce pan. Bring it to a simmer. Don't let it boil.
- Add in salt and mix well.
- Now add in lemon juice and mix gently till it curdles.
- Once it is curdled strain it. Let it sit for 5 mins.
- Now scoop it into a container and serve.
If you want to make whole milk ricotta use a mixture of milk and cream.
You can easily make this cake as orange cake, instead of lemon zest, add orange juice for lemon juice.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

I've tried the French Apple cake 3 times now and it was a big WOW by my guests. I don"k know what Maida flour is but I use Robin Hood flour also I used a springform pan and it was easy to remove from pan. i also made a butterscotch sauce with it. it was delicious. 1 tbs. cornstarch, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tbs butter. 1 1/4 cup of boiling water/
over medium heat add butter and sugar a then add cornstarch stir then add boiling water stir until it thickens. i add 1/4 cup of rum it's optional. when serving put some sauce over it. Mmm yummy!
