600 g of light ricotta
3 yolks
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons semolina flour (or regular)
3 tablespoons stevia sweetener (or regular sugar alternative)
3 tablespoons sour cream (natural yogurt is fine too)

- Place the ricotta in a bowl, add the egg yolks, the stevia (or sugar), a pinch of salt, the vanilla sugar, the grated lemon rind, the semolina and the sour cream.
- Blend everything well with the immersion blender until you have a nice compact and homogeneous mixture, then use a spatula to mix it all together.
- Now beat the egg whites with an electric whisk until stiff and add them to the dough, stirring gently from the bottom to the top.
- Once this is done, place the mixture in a round, hinged tin with a diameter of 18-20 centimetres, lined with greaseproof paper. If you want a taller cake, use the smaller tin.
- Finally, level the surface of your cake and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40-50 minutes, at the end sprinkle with a little icing sugar and enjoy.
