Ingredients

  • 7 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 36 oz. whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 9 oz. sour cream
  • 4 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • Finely grated rind of 1 lemon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line a 3-quart or 13 x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and almost fluffy, about 5 minutes at high speed. Add ricotta and beat until smooth at medium speed. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well combined. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, until golden and fluffy. The cake will rise during baking and fall once cooked. Cut into squares.
