Ingredients for Crumble Cake with Ricotta and Coffee

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 lemon zest (grated)
- 1 tsp baking powder

Steps for Crumble Cake with Ricotta and Coffee
To start, prepare the coffee which needs to cool down. Then, after weighing all the ingredients, focus on the crust.
Pour all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and lemon zest into a food processor and blend for a few seconds.
Now add the butter in small pieces and blend again for a very short time. Pour in the eggs and blend until you get a crumbly mixture.
Line a springform pan about 9 inches in diameter with parchment paper. Pour some of the dough into the bottom, covering it well, and press lightly with your hand, trying to form a small edge.
In a bowl, pour the ricotta with sugar, egg, the now-cold coffee, and ground coffee. Mix well until you get a soft mixture.
Pour the mixture into the pan, level with the back of a spoon without touching the edges of the mold. Cover everything with the remaining dough, trying to crumble it as much as possible. Add pine nuts and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F and let it cook for about 35-40 minutes. You’ll love how delicious it is!
