The cake was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll add some extra ricotta cheese next time.

I'm not usually a fan of lemon desserts, but this cake changed my mind! The ricotta cheese balanced out the tartness of the lemon perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe. The texture was nice and moist, and the lemon flavor was subtle but present.

Wow! This cake is so delicious! The ricotta cheese adds a wonderful richness and creaminess, and the lemon zest gives it a bright, citrusy flavor. I'm really impressed with how easy it was to make, too.
