Tips and variations:

This good cake is one of the traditional Italian desserts. It is ideal for gourmet breakfasts or for a snack.

Accompany this Italian classic with a nice salad of strawberries or exotic fruits, for example.

The cooking recipe for this Italian ricotta cake can also be made only with flour to which 1 sachet of baking powder has been added.

Another variation is to prepare the batter by adding 1/2 cup of milk to the mixture.

To vary the pleasures, you can adapt this recipe by dividing the dough in two and incorporating melted chocolate (or 4 spoons of strong coffee) in one half to obtain a marbled effect.
