INSTRUCTIONS

this recipe. Preheat oven to 325. Butter and flour a 10 inch
springform pan For the cake cream together the ricotta cheese, cream
cheese and granulated sugar. Separate the yolks from the whites of
the eggs. Beat the yolks into the cheese mixture. Scrape down bowl and
add the liqueur and lemon rind, beating well to mix. Fold in the
flour and nutmeg. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff -
then fold into the batter. Gently pour the batter into the prepared
pan and bake in preheated 325 oven for about 60 minutes or until the
center is firm. Prepare the glaze while the cake bakes. Combine the
lemon juice and the sugar with the water in small saucepan. Bring the
mixture to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add the lemon slices
and simmer for five minutes. Remove the lemon slices to waxed paper to
cool. Set the glaze aside. Remove the cake from the oven and let it
cool. When cool, release the sides of the springform pan. When ready
to serve, place the cake on a large serving platter and drizzle with
several tablespoons of the glaze being sure to get the edges.

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
