Will the apple spice cake be okay if I don’t put nutmeg in it? I am making this cake and of course i am out of nutmeg. I was thinking maybe just replace the nutmeg with more cinnamon
Yes, that will work!
I wuld like to try the italian apple cake and was wondering if I could use buttermilk insead of milk. I made it lots of times and it really good but I have some buttermilk handy and was wondering if I could make use of it in this recipe.
buttermilk would be great!
Do you have a recipe for Zucchini Ricotta Fritters.
Yes! You can find it on my other website at https://thisitaliankitchen.com/zucchini-ricotta-fritters/
I want to say Angela that your Italian walnut tort is so simple yet delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
I made your blueberry Ricotta coffee cake for a family gathering and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone ask for the recipe. I have made several of your recipes and have them saved in a folder on my computer marked Angela’s recipe. Will try your lemon ricotta pancakes this week end.
Thanks, Jean! This makes me so happy. I really appreciate your kind words 🙂
We can all our salmon each year. Trying to figure out how to use the Lime/Honey recipe on this.
By chance, do you use 00 flour in your cakes, rather than all purpose flour?
I usually save my 00 flour for when I’m making pasta from scratch. I’ve never tried it in baking.
Just discovered your terrific recipes. Ran to the store to buy a spring form pan, as recommended, for making your Lemon Ricotta Cake that I plan to make tonight. Can ‘t wait to try out so many more of your delicious sounding recipes.
The Lemon Ricotta Bundt Cake looks amazing. Can you tell me how to make the candied lemon peel?
Thanks,
Geraldine
Hi Geraldine. I usually buy the candied lemon peel at the store already made. You can also just omit it from the recipe entirely. Enjoy!
Something good has come from this quarantine — I find your website. What fun I’ve been having. We won’t talk about gaining weight! Be safe and have a great day!
Thanks for the sweet message Ruth Ann. So happy you found my site!
