Cake Mix
Tip
This is a versatile recipe because:
- You can use Gluten Free flours (or all Spelt flour for wheat free) instead of wheat choices.
- if you get a bit of yolk in the egg white, don't worry. Still whisk it up as per recipe and add an extra 50g flour to the mixture (yes it happened to me).
- You can use any citrus fruit to flavour it.
- You can mix up the ricotta with thick natural yoghurt and/or plain cottage cheese.
- You can top with any seeds (for more texture try adding some seeds into the cake mix).

Comments
Excited to try this but found it bland and the texture was a bit sludgy. Would be nice served with lemon or lime butter to add sweetness, plus cream and raspberries.
