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.

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thank you@ C H. I’m glad you liked it.

[@rositamendes9248]

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. 😁❤

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thank You so much @Rosita Mendes. I hope you'll like the cake !

[@mimismith3367]

I made it and I love it 😊

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thank You ! I'm happy to hear that

[@patrickwoods2583]

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

[@philipplouden5892]

Hi. Can you please clarify what cups you’re using? In the USA 1 cup of All Purpose is 120-125g on average so 1 1/2 cups would be 180g. Are you weighing all your ingredients or using cups? I’d like mine to turn out like your picture. Thanks

[@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.

[@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.

[@suzannedesylva3805]

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

[@anastasiapesce9211]

Bravissima

[@CookingwithShirley]

Grazie @Anastasia Pesce Thank You @Anastasia Pesce

[@upawar0166]

Could you please tell any other substitute for all purpose flour.

[@MIGHTYRIVERS19]

I use self raising flour for cakes and sweets , no need for baking powder

[@muhsineeren2581]

Enfesssss...,❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰🙋

[@karenmassinello608]

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

[@cinziagradini3712]

Ciao rimane umida all’interno? Grazie

[@AlexandraLovely]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@Fridayyet]

Your oven doesn't keep a constant consistent heat

[@mariomorata6201]

It remains me the Grandmother's Haus ❤❤❤

[@caferdogan6544]

☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@MIGHTYRIVERS19]

Add more baking powder , I use self raising powder and also add a teaspoon of baking powder . Adding lemon oil extract gives more lemony flavour , well just try and try again , good baking all**

[@jameswrp]

Agreed, I had to increase baking powder to 10g to get the result I wanted

[@cuddlebunny6299]

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

[@CookingwithShirley]

Thanks for sharing !

[@mezarmezar1479]

تسلم ياغالي

[@silviaquiroga6744]

Hola por favor puede traducir al castellano LAS recetas gracias por todo 0:31

[@katialamanna173]

I followed the instructions but my cake did not rise and had no lemon taste. Also seemed a bit undercooked on the inside.

[@D100-z1g]

I think the problem is that you say 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. You should say 2 1/2 teaspoons. That’s why it’s not rising and comes out flat

[@indarjitsingh5518]

I made this. Did not come out like yours. I think either the recipe you giving us is not correct. I think personally 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder is not enough. Also it the color was not as yellow as yours. Can you say what's wrong.

[@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 .

[@MarciaJohn-yl1nj]

I made Ricotta Cake before but tried this recipe, and it was not good.

[@Rickcas323]

doesn't seem like enough lemon juice.

[@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 !

[@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? 🥹
