How to Make Lemon Ricotta Almond Cake Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (with gluten-free flour blend) a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the ricotta cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and lemon zest, beating until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, alternating with the egg mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the melted butter and almond extract.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
