    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

    Cool and Layer

    Allow the base to cool for 10 minutes, then spread the ricotta filling evenly over the top.
