Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160 C (320 F). Grease an 8 inch round cake tin with butter and line the bottom with parchment or baking paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined.
3. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, flour, baking powder and ricotta and beat on a low speed. Add milk and beat briefly until combined. Cake batter may be lumpy and curdled but this is totally fine.
4. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and place in the oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave cake to cool completely in cake pan.
5. Add cream and mascarpone to a mixing bowl and beat using an electric mixer for a couple of minutes or until thickened.
6. To serve, dust cake with icing sugar. Cut into small slices and serve with mascarpone cream and fresh raspberries.
