This simple ricotta cake is easy to prepare cake with very few ingredients. No eggs and butter needed. The cake’s texture is thick but still quite soft and the cinnamon brown sugar topping gives an extra crunch. It is a “hard times” recipe. The recipe has been slightly modified compared to “Sale e pepe” magazine.
