Lemon Ricotta Cake

This week as part of the Thursday Recipe Series I present to you a work of art, my Lemon Almond Ricotta Cake.  Just in time for back-to-school season, it’s perfect for breakfast on busy mornings and makes the sweetest afterschool treat for your littlest loves. It’s impossibly light, with a melt-in-your-mouth crumb and the dreamiest ricotta base that keeps it tender for days. The lemon gives it a bright, sun-kissed lift, and the almond? Bellissima. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, or sneak a slice with your morning espresso as you herd the troops out the door. It’s a love letter in cake form, and it couldn’t be easier to whip up.
