Vanilla and ricotta cake with lemon icing
This is a super-simple cake that I like to make for my children’s birthdays since it’s delicious (of course!) but also stays very moist, thanks to the extra virgin olive oil and ricotta. I love the contrast of a light cake with zingy lemon icing; for topping, choose slivered pistachios, flaked almonds or celebratory sprinkles.
