This cake was made for Mother’s Day for my lovely mum. My mother’s has this major love for lemon, and as per usual, every year I tend to make her a cake with lemon in. I gave her a choice of many cake to chose from and she choose this one, maybe I might have swayed her a little lol, I really liked this sound of this cake especially with the limoncello and almonds in.<\/p>\n

This cake is great for people who suffer from gluten as it’s gluten free yippee!!!!, I haven’t made many gluten free cakes but the pavlova<\/a> I made recently are gluten free. I find gluten free cakes are really tricky to get right as they have a tendency not to work out well but this one worked well and didn’t need a like 6 eggs as many do!<\/p>\n

My mum loved the cake and said it was full of lemon flavour, soft with crispy edge and sticky on the top. I just liked the fact she loved the cake which made me happy. Happy Mother’s Day Mum’s and to all the mother’s out there.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/div>\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t
  1. 113g - soft unsalted butter<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  2. 11\/3 cups - castor sugar<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  3. 250g - full-fat ricotta<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. 1 tsp - vanilla<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  5. Zest - 1 lemon<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  6. 3 - eggs, room temperature, separated<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  7. 3 tbsp - limoncello*<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  8. 21\/2 cups - ground almond (you need 2 bags of 180g, but you won't use it all)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  9. 1 tsp - baking powder<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  10. Sliced almonds<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  11. Powdered sugar, for dusting<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Lemon syrup<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. 1\/2 - lemon<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. 2 tbsp - sugar<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t
      Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. 1. Preheat oven to 160\u00b0C. Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. 2. In a stand mixer using a clean bowl beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks and place them in a separate bowl.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. 3. In the same bowl add the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the ricotta, vanilla and lemon zest.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg yolks, one at a time, continuing to beat until very light and creamy. Add in the limoncello, almond flour, baking powder and beat until combined.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      5. 5. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake mixture. (Don't worry if white streaks remain - they will disappear once in the oven.)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      6. 6. Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula or spoon. Bake for 30 minutes then sprinkle the flaked almonds then bake for another 15-20 or until firm yet slightly springy to the touch.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      7. 7. When the cake is out the oven prepare the lemon syrup. In a small saucepan add the sugar and lemon and heat on high until it's bubbly. Pierce the cake with a toothpick and pour the lemon syrup all over the cake. Allow to cool completely otherwise it will break apart and dust with the powdered sugar.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
        \t\t\t
        Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
          \t\t\t\t
        1. * If you don't have any limoncello it could be replaced with lemon juice.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
