A sweet and savoury dessert from Whitewater Cooks: Together Again by Shelley Adams.
Words by Shelley Adams.
Only a true Italian nonna could produce a cake with such a simple list of ingredients. Its light and airy but also rich and flavourful. It would be delicious with some stewed rhubarb or fresh raspberries, or served for breakfast with a really good espresso.
9 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
Zest of 1 lemon
1 apple, peeled and grated (about 1 cup)
Icing sugar for serving
Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour a 9- or 10-inch springform pan.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer (about 5 to 8 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, ricotta, lemon zest and apple. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until cake is golden brown and sides start to pull away from the pan. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Turn cake out of pan and cool completely on the rack. Sift icing sugar over the top of the cake before serving. Serves 6.
