Ricotta Cakes

Petite Ricotta Cakes


When my children were studying in Melbourne,  they often invited us for coffee, and they took us to  Cafes.  This little cake was one of the treats that we had in the Cafe Laurent at little Collins Melbourne.
The Cafe offers a lot of beautiful little cakes, chocolate cakes, tarts, gateaux, light pastries and brioches.  But the small baked cheesecakes varieties are the winners to me.  I enjoyed the small cheesecake.
To reminisce the good times, I baked the small ricotta cake.
