This cake is absolutely the best! It's my new favorite and so so easy to make.
I pretty much followed the Trader Joe's cookbook recipe in its entirety.
2 cups almond meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (15-oz) container of ricotta cheese (I used whole milk ricotta)
zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon
*I doubled the amount of lemon (just to kick up the flavor!)
Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a 9 inch-ish pan or tart pan or round cake pan (greased). Into the oven at 350 - bake for 55-60 minutes. Mine was perfect at 55 minutes exactly. Take out to cool - then keep refrigerated.
This cake just gets better and better.
It's so good it doesn't NEED icing but you could sure serve it with whipped cream or make a lemon icing with the juice of one lemon, then add powdered sugar until it's the consistency you want!
Enjoy :)
Always, J ♥
