My Grandmother used to bake a ricotta cake and it was a staple growing up up.  A slice with a cup of ‘black coffee’ (she always asked us if we wanted brown or black coffee) is how my Dad used to love to end a meal.  Regrettably I never found Grams recipe.  I’ve made so many recipes  over the years to try and replicate the taste of hers and I always fell short.  I came across this recipe from miciamammas  and gave it a go.  And you know what? If I closed my eyes I swear I was back in my Grandmothers kitchen.  My search is over. This will be my go to from now on.  What a delicious and simple this cake is.  And how powerful are food memories?🥹❤️. Thank you so much Dena for the wonderful inspiration
