WHB #170 - maize flour and ricotta cake

hello to all and welcome to this weeks herb blogging, we are hosted by cheryl..

the gluten free godness..

thank's cheryl for hosting, every time it is fun , getting to know different bloggers..learning new things, and new ingredients!

in Cheryl's blog I have found some interesting recipes, that could help me with my newly become vegetarian doughter..it is not easy at all to change your traditional cooking..

I have some help from me doing the zone diet, and having the other doughter intollerant of a lots of different things and fortunately having the rest of the family (three men) that eats everything, this permit me to try a lot of different things.

but wow..sometimes it is really hard, to please all the family, making healthy and satisfying food! :)

this cake is particular, and has nothing of a normal creamy, sweet one..
but it is really good! :)

you need:

250gr of very fine maize flour

400gr of ricotta

1/2 lemon zest

3 eggs*

150gr of raisins

50gr of pines

whisk the ricotta together with lemon zest, then add the flour, the eggs and a pinch of salt and work all very well.

add the raisin, mix well and the pour the mixture in a mould (put baking paper, to not use any fat), season the pines over

put in a preheated oven, 160° for 40min.

instead of using eggs, you can use 150ml of white creamy or white low-fat yogurt or 2 bananas, the cake will become lower, but sweeter in taste.

of course you can add some sugar, if you can't do without. :)

this interesting idea is kalyn's, and from now hold by haalo.

thank's both of you :)
