Ricotta Olive Oil Cake Recipe with Lemon and Almonds

While this Ricotta Olive Oil Cake Recipe with Lemon and Almonds may sound a little odd because of the use of olive oil, let me ease your tension because this cake is absolutely amazing. The olive oil taste is incredibly subtle and provides fat to the cake along with delicious lemon and almond flavors!

🧑🏻‍🍳 Hello chef, Delicious cake!!! baked last night, today I'm preparing another one for my visitors, I covered the cake with glaze made with powder sugar and lemon 🍋 juice. I used Zulka Mexican sugar non-refined now Costco sales that sugar, and only needed 3/4 cup for the cake. Placing the cake in the middel rack of the oven and baked half time at 350⁰F and half time 325⁰F. I used glass Pyrex 9inches pan 🙏 Thank you for the recipe. I will continue checking your channel share the recipes with my family. 🤍🕊

I made homemade ricotta which I drained for a few hours till it was pretty dry & big chunks. I thought the cake was maybe a bit dry so maybe next time I shouldn’t drain the ricotta as long?

BILLY, 1ST TIME VIEWER, but have really become an almost daily baker thru covid 19, making close to 30 new recipes using all the summer fruit, and now actually searching for a new banana recipe, as after 20yr., am so tired of the one i have, enuf though its loved by many friend! big fan of both ricotta and olive oil, having lived in Spain, and spent a lot of wonderful time in Italy more recently!! made a marvelous b'berry ricotta with hazelnuts that was probably my biggest, challenging success, and another b'berry, lemon ricotta cake that everyone adored!! so, i will try your recipe, but if i didn't want to use almond meal, what other options do i have, please?? i'll be making my own almond milk soon, so may i use the meal that left in this recipe?? thx much, :): kelli

Going to make this for a friend's bday, I want my cake to be a bit dense. Can I mix it more to create a more dense cake?

[@rixcampbell1713]

Makes me think of Italia 🇮🇹.

[@carolhayes7750]

Billy, did you use "regular" olive oil or extra virgin? And also, I have some preserved lemons that I made a few weeks ago. Could I use the zest from one of them if I make sure to rinse out all the salt I preserved it with, or should I just use zest from a fresh lemon? Thanks. (I also posed this question on Facebook just now just in case you see this question asked twice!)

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Either

[@luvwings]

What is the all purpose flour listed in the ingredients? I see the almond flour. Can I use I cup almond flour? For the whole thing

[@ChefBillyParisi]

No

[@Misdamas]

Have you gotten any responses? I prefer to use gluten-free flour. I wonder if it will change the cakes density because gluten free products are usually a lot denser.

[@tarekolya9457]

Can we make this cake with melted chocolate instead of lemon

Hi love this cake but can you tell me if soda is the same as bicarbonate of soda as that all I can find thank you I’m new to your sight but I love your easy way of cooking

I've baked this a couple times and tasts amazing but it always sinks in the middle and becomes quite dense. I've made sure i use fresh baking powder and dont over mix the eggs. Any ideas?
