Lemon Ricotta Cake Recipe - The Pasta Queen

Lemon Ricotta Cake. The perfect tangy and delicious Italian cake for anytime of the day.
Ingredients:
- 400 g of all purpose flour
- 400 g of sugar (preferably brown sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 lemons
- 400 g of fresh ricotta cheese
- Orange blossom essence
- Baking soda 3 tsp
- vanilla powder
- powdered sugar (for garnish)
- If you want the baking soda I use, (instead of the baking soda and vanilla) click the link below.

Recipe:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking soda. (Make sure to mix it very well so the baking soda is distributed evenly throughout the cake.)
3. Mix in the ricotta cheese by hand. (you don’t need to drain it as the water from the cheese will be great for the dough).
4. Mix in one large egg.
5. Add the zest of two lemons.
5. Mix in the juice of two lemons.
6. Add a few drops of orange essence to add to that delicious flavor.
6. After the dough is a smooth consistency, butter your cake pan. (We are using a 23 cm springform cake tin)
7. Pour your batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.
8. Bake for 40 min at 350 degrees.
9. Let it cool and enjoy!
Useful tip:
Sprinkle some powdered sugar ontop and add a flower for that gorgeous look! Just like you are.

The way you said “Fahrenheitsss”...to die for.

[@jessicagomez6374]

The reason I love social media platforms... to meet and follow people like you! 😊 love your recipes and personality you seriously get me in such a great mood.

[@GenniferLee]

She's way better than Rachel Ray or Giada

[@Biabcaboni]

It's because she is born and raised in Italy, she knows very well how to do it! I love her!

[@AnalogOpher]

This show really is amazing. (I came via Lucrezia). It's probably the best and funniest cooking show ever, even better than what Robert Rodriguez did a while back. Can we have a Fabrizio guest appearance? I kinda miss him, eventhough Pasta Bro definitely has a good thing going. Also, it would be great to have parralel episodes in Italian for us Italian students.

[@stewarthalliwell]

Her presentation skills are brilliant She makes it looks special

[@deborahpondermance2795]

OMG, Nadia! Lemons, ricotta and orange blossom!!! 😱 I want to reach right through my iPad and grab this cake! I need to make this as soon as possible!

Love you post . Found you on TikTok. Your hilarious on TikTok

[@deborahg4723]

Instead of orange essence, have you ever used flor di sicilia? Also if not how do you think it would be? Do you use the light brown sugar in most of your other cake recipes? Love your shows!!

[@Cowzone7]

Show us how to make your pastierra! ✨🙏🏻 Please 😍

[@ishqbewafa5422]

nice very nice

[@michaelak.514]

well done Nadia, looks delicious!!! Lo farò la prossima fine settimana di sicuro!!!

[@BrianGendece]

Just in case anyone in US is making this. It's baking powder, not soda. There is a difference.

[@amidstheroses]

I was looking through here to see if she had a conversion for grams (yes, I’m in Colorado USA) when I saw that it is BAKING POWDER not SODA! I was about to run to the store to buy BAKING SODA because I am out!!!7

[@amidstheroses]

Mine came out horrible! It has NO LEMON taste! I know I put the juice and rind from two Meyer lemons in it! Is it because I used BAKING POWDER because several commenters said that that is the US equivalent to the baking soda?? I made it yesterday and ate my first slice at breakfast today. It’s looks beautiful and tastes BLAH. NO FLAVOR! I sliced a fresh peach from the Farmers’ Market to help the flavor. The peach tasted delicious the cake has no flavor! WHAT HAPPENED?!

[@megang8]

Real glad I waited until after to read these 😩 baking soda ---yep. Put that in. Things poured over. Burnt. I will attempt this again in far future. Oy.

[@kellyk3222]

When will we get to see Pasta Bro say "Ingredients!!!"

Can I use a homemade ricotta to do this

[@fwemp]

What flowers are those? Are they edible?

How many days would this cake stay good for and since there’s cheese in it would it need to be refrigerated?

[@amyball3342]

Yes babe refrigerator

0:43 Isnt that baking powder not soda? I have seen other bloggers use it but they call it baking powder not soda:)

[@mela16c]

Ciao Nadia, I hope you see this... as I am not on FB nor Instagram but my brother sent me your video of this Ricotta Cake and I would like to make it for him, but the ingredients are a little different from the ones you list in your video on KZbin. In the Instagram one, you had olive oil, almond flour and almonds. Continued Success Sei un bomba Grazie Carmie

[@jftube3333]

That's a different cake she made. The one you saw is Lemon Ricotta Almond Cake. She doesn't list the recipe for that anywhere. I've been meaning to make that one, but no step-by-step recipe.

[@mela16c]

@@jftube3333 thanks, what I figured.. I got an answer from her team, saying I have to write her on Tic Toc... but I don't have an account... gonna try with my brother's... eventually... if i get a reply , I will let you know!!! Grazie

[@jftube3333]

@@mela16c Oh I would appreciate that. Thank You! That cake looks so good, we have to make & make it right with proper measurements. Thank you Mela!

[@Jameson77777]

Does anyone know where to buy the orange blossom essence? I can only find orange blossom water.

[@amidstheroses]

The Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water bottle looks identical to the one that she holds up. I bought that online at Amazon for this cake. I assume it is the same and that she’s just using the English word closest the Italian.

[@wumpoooo]

@@amidstheroses bit late there mate

[@racheltamburri5387]

I’ve made this twice and my finished product alway sinks in the center when it’s cooled. Any advice to what I’m doing wrong? It’s tastes delicious and even better the next day.

[@beepithadia8269]

Did u use baking soda? Someone in the comments mentioned to use baking powder ... maybe too much soda is sinking the cake?

[@racheltamburri5387]

@@beepithadia8269 it’s worth a try, I do use baking soda; the same one that she does.

[@MikkoHere]

@@racheltamburri5387 not sure where you are, if you are in the US it’s baking powder, not baking soda. ( she using the British term)

[@zuzana1717]

@ZeroPointField No no , you’re wrong . Baking soda and Baking powder are two different things. Baking powder contains more than one ingredient. Baking soda is Sodium bicarbonate.

[@racheltamburri5387]

@@zuzana1717 I know, I was following PQ’s recipe. 😊

[@Bonx13oJovi]

Can you convert your recipe from grams to cups? States don’t measure in grams.

[@louiseformosa680]

How come from a dough in the beginning, then the batter became creamy ? Just don't get this

[@yyaa2539]

baking soda from AMAZON...now I understand why Bezos is so rich...

hi.friends.....

[@theworstuniformever101]

hey

[@markboles135]

Hilarious! Quick lesson in American pronunciation of English: the double /tt/ as a medial consonant is often pronounced as a /d/ sound, as in little, or bottle. Americans never say "liTle or boTle, but liDle or boDle. Gorgeous!
