I agree about making the ricotta. Sadly I just tend to eat it by the spoonful. No will power. :'(

Just making some ricotta.

Was wondering if I could make this cake using limes (just been given a bag).

This has just come out of the oven. Naturally I had to try some.

It didnt rise as much as I had hoped, but my springform tin was 24 across, so a little too big.

Its very nice, the lime flavour is very mild, next time woud use more limes, they are smaller than lemons so should have used maybe a couple extra.

It was great making Helenes ricotta, so so easy. Thank tou for such an easy recipe. The rest will be used on pizzas.

Next time more limes needed, will make again in a smaller tin too.

I'm glad it all worked out Hally. I love Helene's ricotta with stewed or tinned fruit. Or pureed fruit folded through it.

Can be but I don't like the result.  Ok in cooking but not 'fresh'.

This cake sounds wonderful; I have never made ricotta but will give it a go. I love anything cooked or uncooked with lemon; shame our tree died after 30 years as it hurts to have to buy them.

Troupie, know what you mean about buying lemons.  Until we built a large stone wall we were unable to grow citrus in our cold climate.

Made this today substituting limes for lemons. I don't have SR flour so added  3 Tsp baking powder to plain flour. I forgot to grind almonds to meal before I started the recipe and trying to grind the nuts after scraping out the cake batter resulted in a lumpy outcome (you need a clean dry bowl for good almond meal, not a bowl covered in cake batter!). I've edited my copy of the recipe to remind me!  Cake was moist and tasty and the little bits of almond were nice too. I didn't ice it but I think it would be nice with a citrus syrup or a sorbet.

Bonsai,  glad you tried this cake.  This is one of my favourite lemon cakes.  I usually make my own ricotta to use.

Chookie - I've added the almond meal making step into the recipe so that others don't fall into the same trap as Bonsai.
