Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly grated lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Mix the ricotta cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps in your cake batter.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender crumb. Mix until just combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven for even cooking. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
With its light, fluffy texture and zesty lemon flavor, the lemon ricotta dessert cake is sure to impress. Serve this elegant cake at your next gathering or enjoy it with a cup of tea for a delightful treat. Happy baking!
