FIADONE Ricotta & Lemon Cake #lowglycemicindex accompanied by red fruits #glutenfree This is a Corsican cake that is traditionally made with Brocciu cheese, but I didn't have any so I used Ricotta cheese, which works just as well. I gave it a low glycemic index twist. A light, fresh and super enjoyable cake. 0 guilt ❤. And on top of that, it's extremely simple and quick to make.
