Description
This Italian classic is lighter than your average cheesecake thanks to the addition of semolina flour. Ricotta makes the vanilla-laced batter lush and creamy, and lemon zest contributes a bright, citrusy note.The baked cake can be enjoyed warm or at…
room temperature and is garnished with roughly chopped pistachios. If you're feeling especially ambitious, a homemade fruit compote would be quite nice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

I was very surprised by this recipe and I have already discussed its greatness with so many people. It was so savory and delicious with a perfect combo of ingredients that did not mask over each other one bit. It has already been requested that I make this 5 star cake recipe for my in-laws when they arrive.
