The picture does not do it any justice. The icing is smooth and creamy. Do not place the cheese mixture around the edges on the cake batter. I am 45 years old and Have been making this cake since I was in my 20's. I hope you like it. I was never a ricotta person but this has set me in motion. Love it it now. And this is Lovvvvvvve cake! lol
