The combination of lemon and ricotta works magic in this cake and creates a lovely soft and light texture in this cake.I really enjoy it so much.

You can use my homemade ricotta cheese recipe as well.

  1. Take milk in a sauce pan. Bring it to a simmer. Don't let it boil.
  2. Add in salt and mix well.
  3. Now add in lemon juice and mix gently till it curdles.
  4. Once it is curdled strain it. Let it sit for 5 mins.
  5. Now scoop it into a container and serve.

If you want to make whole milk ricotta use a mixture of milk and cream.

You can easily make this cake as orange cake, instead of lemon zest, add orange juice for lemon juice.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

    I've tried the French Apple cake 3 times now and it was a big WOW by my guests. I don"k know what Maida flour is but I use Robin Hood flour also I used a springform pan and it was easy to remove from pan. i also made a butterscotch sauce with it. it was delicious. 1 tbs. cornstarch, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tbs butter. 1 1/4 cup of boiling water/
    over medium heat add butter and sugar a then add cornstarch stir then add boiling water stir until it thickens. i add 1/4 cup of rum it's optional. when serving put some sauce over it. Mmm yummy!
