Lemon Ricotta Cake with Lemon Syrup, Buttercream, and Sugared Zest

~ mrsgooses ~ 2 Comments

This is a very lemony cake made with polenta, grounds almonds, and ricotta. A lemon syrup is then poured over the warm cake to give a sweet lemony tang and moistness. More lemon flavor is added with the buttercream and even more lemon sweetness is added with the sugared lemon zest on the top.
