THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how many people try to ‘fix’ soft frosting with more powdered sugar :( It’s a losing battle. More cheese! Or butter! And chill time :)

Confectionery sugar liquifies when it hits moisture…try granulated sugar and add some marscapone cheese to the frosting to bind

The right amount of sweetness and the almond extract sends them! I actually plan to have the other 2 for breakfast with some fruit. Once again Dessert for Two comes through for me when I have an ingredient to use up and want a small batch of something. Only issue is the frosting, like others have said, it was way too runny with the amounts given. I added an entire extra cup of powdered sugar and it was still runny. Next time I plan to blitz the ricotta in the food processor to get it smooth, then fold with sweetened whipped cream to make a hopefully less sweet, stiffer frosting.

I only bake by “weight” ( that way I never get a recipe wrong). Could you please tell me the weights of your ingredients please? I would really appreciate it, thanks

It would have been too much for four cupcakes but as I tripled the recipe to make an even dozen, it was just the right amount. Hope this helps anyone else who ran into the runny frosting situation!

I also had to bake them longer than indicated to get them to set, but I really enjoyed the texture, and I think the star here is the almond extract!

I think it’s a temperature thing. Was it room temp or cold?

The cake was very good and dense but as another person reported, the icing did not fluff up at all. I even added a pinch of meringue powder to try and bulk it up to no avail. Kept these in the fridge but the icing goes runny at room temperature. Good flavor though.

It makes the perfect amount of frosting to layer and frost the a cake. I subbed in lemon for orange zest. What a perfect, versatile frosting. Thank you!

THE CAKE ITSELF IS OKAY IT IS VERY DENSE BUT UNDERSTANDBLY SO AS IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE POUND CAKISH. THE FROSTING DID NOT COME TOGETHER AT ALL I TRIED THREE TIMES AND IT ALWAYS ENDED UP RUNNY NOT FLUFFY AS DESCRIBED. DISAPPOINTED.

Hi Anabel, it does yield a small amount because all of my recipes yield a small amount..dessert for two. The recipe makes 4 cupcakes.

I plan on making the ricotta frosting this weekend, but 1/3 cup of ricotta seems like it will yield a tiny amount of frosting, and perhaps not enough for 12 cupcake. Is this the correct measurement? Hope this question isn’t annoying, just excited to try this frosting!

And I might love pound cake even more. Maybe. Perfect combination!

I added a bit of lemon zest to both the batter and frosting (because she loves lemon) and they were to die for. This will be one of my go-to crowd pleasers from here on out. Whatever you do, no not miss the frosting–I was eating out of the bowl with a spoon!
