Ricotta Cake Italian Cheesecake

If you want a cake that is unassuming but really packs a punch, this is it! It looks like nothing special, but it is moist, rich, and delicious. It has a subtle sweetness, and a thick, creamy ricotta bottom layer that makes this one of our extended family favorites. My mom got this recipe from an Italian friend. And let me tell you, we make it too much! I serve it with fresh whipped cream, or vanilla greek yogurt, and fresh cut strawberries, but it is good on its own too. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    First of all I would like to say great blog!
    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    mind prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes aree generally wassted jusxt trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
    Kudos!
