    Happy World Baking Day!

    Surprise someone you love with something unexpected. Well – me baking is mostly expected from friends and family, but making somebody happy is always a good reason for baking ;) For example with this Orange Lemon Ricotta Cake. So go to the kitchen and bake!

    Orange and lemon are almost always a winning combination – I really like an intense lemon flavor – especially when it comes with a cheesecake :) This ricotta cake has it all – all the flavors, a soft and creamy texture and a great crust. This should convince you already to collect all the ingredients and heat the oven ;)

    I know it looks a bit rustic – instead of cutting off the crust (that was too much), I stuffed it to fit the form – that’s why it looks a bit damaged on one side. But I like that. I call it a “charming cheesecake”. Special. And I swear the cake had no crack on the surface when I took it out of the oven! It happened when I transferred it to the plate because I did not wait long enough to let it cool completely ;)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch
    For the crust:
    2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup (120g) butter
    1 egg
    3 tbsp. confectioner’s sugar
    pinch of salt

    For the filling:
    17.5 oz. (500g) ricotta cheese
    3/4 cup (150g) sugar
    2 eggs
    1 orange, organic
    1 lemon, organic
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Für den Teig:
    250g Mehl (Type 405)
    120g Butter
    1 Ei
    3 EL Puderzucker
    Prise Salz

    Für die Füllung:
    500g Ricotta
    150g Zucker

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. For the dough place the flour on your working surface and make a small well in the middle. Add the egg, salt and confectioner’s sugar to the middle and the butter on top in small pieces. Knead everything with your hands until you get a nice smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 8 inch (20cm) springform tin. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Place in the tin and press to the bottom and sides. Prick the bottom with a fork. Set aside.

    3. In a large bowl mix the ricotta, sugar, eggs, the zest and juice of the orange, lemon zest and the vanilla extract until you get a creamy mixture. Pour into the tin and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. The filling should be set and only sligly wobble when you shake the tin. Turn off the oven, open the door and let the cake rest for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack. Dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving.

    1. Für den Teig das Mehl auf die Arbeitsfläche geben und in die Mitte eine Mulde drücken. Das Ei, Salz und Puderzucker in die Mulde geben und die Butter in kleinen Flöckchen darauf verteilen. Mit den Händen alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. In Klarsichtfolie einpacken und für 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 20cm (8 inch) Springform einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen und dann in die Form legen und an den Boden und die Seiten pressen. Mit einer Gabel mehrmals den Boden einstechen. Zur Seite stellen.

    3. in einer großen Schüssel den Ricotta mit Zucker, Eiern, Orangenschale- und Saft, Zitronensaft und Vanille Extrakt verrühren, bis eine cremige Masse entsteht. In die Form füllen und im Ofen für 45-50 Minuten backen. Die Füllung sollte fest geworden sein und sich nicht mehr allzu viel bewegen, wenn man an der Form rüttelt. Den Ofen ausschalten und den Kuchen noch weitere 15 Minuten im offenen Ofen stehen lassen. Herausnehmen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Vor dem Servieren mit Puderzucker bestreuen.

      Es gibt einfach nichts leckeres als Ricotta im Kuchen ❤️ und dann noch mit Mürbeteigrand, werde ich unbedingt mal ausprobieren. I Love Lemon & Orange in der Kombination!

      Love everything in this post – scrumptious cake, pictures and especially this wooden prop:) Good job Marc! The only upsetting thing is you’ve cheated on rhubarb. You could have incorporated it in this lovely cake as well! :)

        Käsekuchen geht immer! Und Nutella – das geht auch immer. Vielleicht sollte ich das mal kombinieren…. ;P

      Sehr lecker! Ich hatte so Lust auf Kuchen und nicht viel Zeit, und habe von daher eine “Abkürzung” gebacken: Ich habe nur die Füllung angerührt, 12 Muffinförmchen mit Papier ausgelegt, Füllung rein, in jedes Förmchen noch ein paar frische Blaubeeren. Bei 180° 30 Minuten gebacken. Meiner Familie und mir hat’s geschmeckt!

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
