How to cook deliciously - Lemon Ricotta Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and coat it with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt, and set it aside.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until incorporated, one to two minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is fluffy and pale in color, three to four minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and beat in the ricotta, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract until smooth, two to three minutes. Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

3. Stage

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Pop the pan into the oven and bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

4. Stage

Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake to loosen it from the springform pan, then remove the sides of the pan. Just before serving, dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar, slice it and serve.
