Light and delicious with strawberry or mixed berry sauce, and not too sweet. From The Onion Skin, April 2008. ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, eggs, lemons, vanilla extract, salt cvt
Ingredients:
2 pounds part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 eggs
4 tsp fresh lemon zest (2 lemons)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 320. Set rack in the middle of the oven.
2. Butter and flour a 9-1/2 inch springform pan and tap out excess flour.
3. Place the ricotta in a large mixing bowl and beat it until smooth. Beat in sugar and flour. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Blend in the lemon zest, vanilla, and salt.
4. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until a light golden color and set in the center.
