Giada De Laurentiis is Italian, and most of her recipes have some sort of Italian twist. The Italian ingredient in the celebrity chef's lemon cake recipe is what she credits with the recipe's success: ricotta cheese. "The ricotta in this lemon ricotta pound cake gives it a moist, tender crumb," De Laurentiis explained in the caption of an Instagram video detailing the recipe being made.
There are countless recipes online for ricotta cake (well, 38 million and counting, according to Google). What does ricotta add to a cake? It has protein, which adds structure (via Food Business News); water, which adds moisture; and fat, which creates a tender crumb (via the University of Illinois). If you don't feel up to the task of making De Laurentiis' lemon ricotta cake recipe from scratch, you'll be relieved to know you can also add ricotta to boxed cake mix (via Crayons and Cravings). Give it a try, and who knows — maybe soon you'll be calling ricotta cheese your secret ingredient for perfect cakes too.
