Here are the ingredients you will need:
240 g ground almonds
250 g ricotta cheese
170 g xylitol, powdered (or any other sweetener of your choice which is equivalent of 170g of sugar)
4 eggs
Zest from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
60g almond flakes
Here is what you do:
1. Preheat oven to 160 C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5.
2. Line a 20 cm loose bottom cake tin with baking paper
3. Using electric mixer beat egg yolks with xylitol, add ricotta, vanilla extract, lemon zest and ground almond and briefly mix to combine the mixture.
4. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into ricotta mixture to loosen and then fold in the rest.
5. Spread the mixture in the tin, sprinkle the almond flakes on the top and bake for about 50 minutes.
6. Cool it down and refrigerate it overnight. Dust with powdered xylitol before serving.

Hello Jan, I'm still around and reading your posts from time to time. This cake looks delicious as so many of your recipes do. Thank you for coming over to my blog to say hello. I'm fine just being lazy and not posting anything on my blog. I will probably get back to it in the winter. Hope all is well with you, hugs Barbara
My dear Jan, what a delight it would be to have a cup of tea and a slice of this wonderful goodness with you :) Happy August, my friend! Hugs
