ricotta cheese cake

I can’t believe I’ve been making this cake for so long and have never shared it with my readers. The ricotta cheese adds a moist satisfying texture to this cake. Sometimes I make this with an orange and other times I use lemon, either way this lemon ricotta cheese cake  is moist and delicious.
Another tip I should add, if you don’t have enough ricotta cheese you can substitute with some sour cream. Also, if your ricotta cheese is too watery, place some paper towels under the cheese and change often until most of the moisture is out of the cheese.
I also use this same recipe to make muffins, just bake for less time.
