Thank you sooo very much, grazie. I love the way you show the amount of the ingredients on the screens. Many people don't do that. So therefore I cannot make their cake. I'm definitely going to make it. I too am Italian. 😁❤

[@barryphillips6658]

Delizioso. Grazie. I have made this cake a few times. The last time I added some Crema di Limoncello, and it took the cake to the next level. I urge you to give it a try.

Enfesssss...,❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰🙋

[@anthonyspina4093]

Mine came out very dry and not moist at all. Any suggestions? Did I cook it too long (45min)? I was expecting a more soft but it felt more like a pound cake.

[@patrickwoods2583]

yeah, mine came out of the oven looking like this, but then soon deflated to half the size.

[@Madzielle]

Why is the Fahrenheit conversion blurred out for the oven temp! Lol quite funny

[@mezarmezar1479]

تسلم ياغالي

[@bettyaranzazu9480]

Beautiful perfect cake 🍰 can you tell me why my cakes colapse after I take it from the oven

[@Emily-jw1wj]

She should have used baking soda not baking powder mine did the same thing

[@nannaendersby6286]

Mine does the same… 3 attempts and no confidence later 😅 please share if you’ve cracked the code.

[@suzannedesylva3805]

I am checking for the ingredients now! Will give them away as Christmas presents!

[@jyotsanaparui8974]

Can we use home made paneer instead of ricotta cheese. Will the cake be baked properly

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thank you for your question @ Jyotsana Parui. I have not tested this recipe using homemade paneer. If you try it using paneer, please let me know how it turns out for you. Thank You.

[@giovanniruggieri9108]

the Paneer is to dense as it is a firmer cheese & it will be lumpy in this cake recipe

[@vickyl7980]

Hi, i used both homemade ricotta (from powdered milk) & store bought ricotta. My family & neighbours preferred the one made with homemade cheese. All the best with ur baking.

[@cinziagradini3712]

Ciao rimane umida all’interno? Grazie

[@AlexandraLovely]

La presenza della ricotta la renderà un po' umida, sì. 😊

[@voulatsavelas5160]

Hi i just made it tonight but wasnt as fluffy it tasted great though i dnt know why it seemed firm

[@Valentino_Cilantro]

That’s also my issue on my cakes.

[@krisardhitya3556]

Overmixed probly

[@susandavidson5357]

I just had the same problem. No, not overmixed. I even doubled the baking powder as 1/2 tsp is really low. Wondering if Baking soda would have been more effective?

[@user-mn6fr1fi3r]

Your oven doesn't keep a constant consistent heat

[@karenmassinello608]

I made it twice but never rises and seems under cooked.

[@cuddlebunny6299]

I rub the sugar and lemon zest together before makes a difference

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thanks for sharing !

[@user-fm6jw2md3h]

Who takes the time to write in 350°f then more time to blur it out??

[@Roula-Tr]

Καλό θα ήταν να είχαμε ΥΠΌΤΙΤΛΟΥΣ ΣΤΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΆ . Παρακαλώ σκεφτείτε το .

[@sillvanel]

300 F Or 180 C ? Because 300 F is 150 C

[@CookingwithShirley]

@Justyna Spedzia. You are right. There's a mistake in the video. It's 350 F (180 C). I made the corrections. Thank You for pointing that out to me !

[@sillvanel]

@@CookingwithShirley No problem , cake is delicious !! I made it exactly the same way and is amazing !

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thank You So Much @Justyna Spedzia. I'm very happy you liked it !

[@Rickcas323]

doesn't seem like enough lemon juice.

[@nannaendersby6286]

Hi! So i’ve attempted 3 different recipes now after becoming obsessed with Ricotta cake, however for some reason they always end up dense. They come out high and fine and then collapsing. I’m an okay baker, so this is one of the first time’s I’m really struggling to get it right after a few go’s. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? 🥹
