Receta Cherry Ricotta Cake
Cherry Ricotta Cake
July 7, 2014 By: Kathy Steger42 Comments
Monday is the best time to share a sweet recipe especially after a long holiday weekend . We all need a little comfort and reassurance going back to work today. The logical thing would have been to post a detox salad since most likely we all had a nice share of unhealthiness over the last few days. But what fun would there be in that? Instead I am lifting my spirits and hopefully yours with this fabulous dessert. Did I mention it makes for a great breakfast too? This Cherry Ricotta Cake is a sure winner, sort of like a mix between a ricotta cheesecake and a scone. I say it’s full of cherry goodness without the crumble mess. Did I tell you that it’s delicious? Well it is, it really is. I pretty much had to fight off little fingers from stuffing herself senseless with it. Cherry Ricotta Cake
