How to prepare the Ricotta and Lemon Ring Cake
To prepare this dessert you need an untreated lemon to use its zest. Beat the 2 whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes until you get a light and frothy mixture.
Add the ricotta and the vegetable oil.
Now add the grated lemon zest. Squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the batter. Mix.
Finish the preparation by adding the sifted flour and baking powder. Mix.
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch ring mold.
Bake the Ring Cake with lemon and ricotta in a preheated oven at 350°F in static mode for 35-40 minutes. Always do the toothpick test to check the doneness inside the cake.
Let the cake cool before turning it over onto a serving plate and decorate it as you like with some powdered sugar.
