Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the ricotta cheese, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
