Torta Ricotta – Ricotta Cake

It is Christmas week and for many, this signals a time to cook and bake. I love to cook, but don’t spend as much time cooking as I used to.

I found this recipe for Ricotta Cake on Facebook some time ago. I am contemplating giving it a whirl after I finish making my two different batches of fudge — White Chocolate Cherry and Dark Dark Chocolate Coconut.

This looks so yummy…

If you are looking for an easy dessert to finish off an Italian dinner, this recipe below looks easy and could be just the perfect finish.
