There wasn’t even enough time to get to the shop to buy the ricotta (we always have loads of lemons in the kitchen) so we’ll just have to take pleasure in how great this lemon ricotta cake turns out, and imagine how tasty it is.

Hop over to Tasty for the full recipe, and if you find this recipe so irresistible you had to make it, leave us a comment to say how it went.
