Ricotta Plumcake

Ricotta Plumcake

I had to have a ricotta plumcake recipe. It couldn’t be other way after the saleswoman of the market I use to go told me she never met a customer who buy that much ricotta as me :-)!

Years ago I liked the sheep-milk ricotta. I used to live in a small village and it was often gave as a gift by some known shepherd. I liked it but it wasn’t that thing I use to go looking for.

Since I changed city and discovered the cow-milk ricotta (lighter, under my point of view), it became a mania for me. There was a period when I had to have ricotta for lunch (I use to eat it with the crispy Sardinian bread), then the many salted cakes and quiches. I have to say that I am not alone, all of my family are fond of ricotta too ;-).

So, when I saw this recipe on Food52 site, with such an inviting “texture”, I had to capitulate. Also because it is extremely simple to prepare and, except for the ricotta, I bet you have all ingredients at home ;-).
