So excited to be back for my first Downingtown market of the new season in person!!! Missed seeing, talking and connecting with folks. We're bringing back another springtime cake this week: LA TORTA DI RICOTTA, MIELE E MANDORLE (ricotta cake with ground almonds and honey) ,a lovely classic cake from Italy and the surrounding areas. It's a delicate orange-scented pound cake, except ricotta replaces most of the butter. Good enough to be enjoyed plain, or dressed up with a seasonal fruit compote, fresh strawberries, etc. We often put a browned butter glaze on this cake. |
