I would describe this scrumptious cake as a baked cheesecake but without the heaviness of cream cheese. This lemony dessert is super moist and dense, so one slice is all you need, that is if you can stop at one slice. Our famous royal cream cheese frosting goes exceptionally well with this gluten-free lemon ricotta pound cake. Enjoy!
