    I used ¾ cup butter,
    1 ½ cups sugar,
    15 ounces ricotta cheese (drained),
    3 eggs,
    1 teaspoon vanilla,
    1 lemon, zested and juiced,
    ½ teaspoon baking soda,
    ½ teaspoon salt,
    1 ½ cups flour.

    I don’t have a machine mixer but I whisked the batter thoroughly by hand before adding the dry ingredients so that it would not be too dense.

    Baked for 35 minutes at 350F and then decorated with lemon buttercream frosting, blueberries, mint, and dried wildflowers.

    It’s so adorable! Ahh! I have literally had lemon ricotta cake on my little board of what to back next for weeks and just haven’t gotten around to it (yeah I know, it’s weird to have a board of what I wanna make next)

    This looks delicious!

    Super dumb question: I happened upon an enormous container of cottage cheese and I’m looking for ways to use it up. Anyone know if this could work with cottage cheese instead of ricotta? Like maybe if I blend it to a similar consistency?
