This is my first post of the year, and hopefully there will be many more to come, bringing a little sweetness to a new year filled with trepidation, and bad news. So please my friends join me this year for tea and cakes, and other delicious recipes, that I hope will become firm favourites for you, as they are for me.
January brings this Citrus Ricotta and Almond Cake, using oranges and lemons that are in season in the Southern Hemisphere. This delicious Italian cake is beautifully moist, made with Ground Almonds and ricotta cheese and is the perfect cake that can also be served as a dessert with a dollop of cream for a little decadence .
It requires no baking powder so is 100% gluten free, making it perfect for everyone. Yes, some baking powder is not gluten free, and this depends on the starch the manufacturer uses. The starch in the baking powder can either be gluten-free, which means it is made from corn starch, or gluten-full, which means it is made from wheat starch.
Happily we don't have to worry about any of this in this scrumptious cake.
So get your whisks out and let's make this delicious cake together, I can assure you it's a keeper.
