"Rich, sweet, moist and yet completely free from flour and refined sugar, this Italian lemon and almond cake is a great way to end a meal. It is technically a cheesecake, but has very little in common with the heavy American versions. In Italy, most delis have their own version of ricotta. The most delicious one is made from sheep's milk?try it in this recipe, if you can find it. We often prepare the cake a day in advance. It makes it even creamier and enhances the flavors. if (Epi.text.truncatedVersion) { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "Rich, sweet, moist and yet completely free from flour and refined sugar, this Italian lemon and almond cake\r\nis a great way to end a meal.
