Super Lemony Italian Limoncello Ricotta Cake (e56)

Buon Giorno A Tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), bakes up a gorgeous Limoncello Ricotta Cake. It's absolutely delicious and a must-try if you love lemons! Here's the recipe: Stir Dry Ingredients in a bowl: 1.5 cups flour 1.5 cups sugar 3/4 cups almond flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt In a separate bowl, add these wet ingredients: 2/3 cups olive oil 1.5 cups ricotta cheese 3 eggs (add one at a time) zest from 3 lemons You will use 2 tablespoons of limoncello, as you blend the dry into the wet ingredients. Lemon Syrup: optional 1/3 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of lemon juice Icing sugar for dusting cake Whip wet ingredients with an electric beater, then add 1/2 of the dry ingredients at a time. After the first half, add the 2 tablespoons of limoncello, then the remaining half of the dry ingredients. The consistency will be dense. Pour into a well greased/sprayed 9-inch springform pan and bake about an hour at 350F, or until the center is firm and comes out clean when tested with an uncooked strand of spaghetti or linguine etc. Of course you can use a toothpick, but Nonna always uses pasta strands! :-) For the syrup, mix 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds, so that the sugar is dissolved. Poke holes in the cake so that the syrup will seep into them. Nonna uses a linguine strand again, to poke holes. Spoon warm syrup over cake and allow to dry, then dust with the icing sugar and decorate as desired. Buon appetito!
