Method

Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and vanilla extract, and mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Limoncello Ricotta

  1. 7

    Prepare Ricotta

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, limoncello, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Raspberry Sorbetto

  1. 8

    Make Sorbetto

    In a blender, combine fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Raspberry Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Strain to remove seeds and let cool.
