Ingredients

  • A handful of fragrant bay leaves
  • A trio of fresh eggs
  • A generous portion of creamy ricotta cheese weighing 8 ounces
  • A half cup of golden honey
  • A hint of citrus with 1 teaspoon of grated orange zest
  • A splash of tangy lemon juice, just a teaspoon
  • A measured half cup of versatile all-purpose flour

Step 1

To start, preheat your oven to a cozy 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for that perfect baking atmosphere. As the oven warms up, prepare a small, heatproof bowl and fill it with water before sliding it into the oven. Now, onto the fun part - grab your springform pan and decorate the base with aromatic bay leaves for an added burst of flavor.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until frothy. Add in the creamy ricotta cheese, a drizzle of honey, freshly grated orange zest, and a splash of zesty lemon juice. Sprinkle in a bit of flour and gently fold everything together until you have a smooth, harmonious batter. Carefully pour this delightful mixture over the bed of bay leaves, ensuring they stay undisturbed beneath the surface.

Step 3

Pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until the top turns a delicious golden brown, which should take around 35 to 40 minutes. Once done, run a sharp knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake before unlatching the springform and transferring it onto a serving plate. This delightful treat can be enjoyed either warm or chilled, depending on your mood.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your ingredients organized and easily accessible, like the Romans did in their well-structured kitchens. This will help you move smoothly through the recipe.
  2. 2. Store your fresh cheese in a cool and dry place, such as a cellar or pantry, to maintain its flavor and texture. Just like how the ancient Romans stored their dairy products in cool underground storage spaces.
