Servings: 16
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

This lemon ricotta cake recipe is a family gem that was passed down from my grandmother and mother. Garnished with shaved lemon zest, the moist four-layer cake is the perfect dessert when you want to impress.
Recipe by: Nanette Slaughter ~ Sammamish, Washington


    Ingredients:
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed

  • Cake batter:
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Sugared lemon zest:
  • 6 medium lemons
  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • Frosting:
  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 5-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Colored sugar, optional

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • For lemon curd, in a small bowl, combine eggs and egg yolks. In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir the sugar, lemon juice and butter over medium heat until smooth. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into eggs; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Cover and chill until thickened, about 1-1/2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine ricotta cheese, buttermilk, lemon zest, vanilla and lemon juice. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Using a citrus zester, remove zest from lemons in long narrow strips; toss with sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes. (Save fruit for another use.) Meanwhile, to make the frosting, in a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners’ sugar, milk, grated lemon zest, vanilla and salt; beat until smooth.
  • Cut each cake in half horizontally. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Pipe a circle of frosting around edge of cake. Spread a third of the lemon curd inside frosting. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides. If desired, pipe a decorative border of frosting using a star tip, and decorate sides of cake with colored sugar. Garnish with lemon zest strips. Store in the refrigerator.
