            Ingredients
        
        
    - 2 containers (400 g each) Saputo Ricotta di Campagna
 
    - 250 ml (1 cup) icing sugar
 
    - 125 ml (½ cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
 
    - 30 ml (2 tbsp) cornstarch 
 
    - 4 eggs, whites and yolks separated 
 
    - Zest from 1 lemon, minced
 
    - 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
 
    - 2.5 ml (½ tsp) turmeric
 
    - Icing sugar for garnish 
 
     
    
        
            Directions
        
        
    - Preheat the oven to 165°C (325°F). Butter and flour a 20 cm (8 inch) springform pan.
 
    - In a bowl, use a rubber spatula to combine the Ricotta, icing sugar, flour, cornstarch, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and turmeric. Set aside. 
 
    - In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric beater until stiff peaks form. Using the spatula, gently fold the meringue into the Ricotta mixture. 
 
    - Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake in the oven for approximately 60 minutes. 
 
    - Let the cake cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. 
 
    - Before serving, unmould the cake and dust with icing sugar.
