Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Fresh whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/3 cup All-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sugar
6 Large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Butter and flour a 9-by-2-inch springform pan and tap out excess flour. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, sift sugar and flour.
  • In a large bowl, combine ricotta and zest and whisk until smooth. Add sugar and flour mixture and gently mix to combine.
  • Add eggs, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine. Add the vanilla and salt.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the center of the oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, until a light golden color. Make sure the center is fairly firm and the point of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained before using it in the cake batter. This will help prevent the cake from being too moist.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help it rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.
