Moist Pistachio Ricotta Cake is a lightly sweet, tender cake made with ground pistachios, creamy whole-milk ricotta, and a touch of lemon zest for brightness. Almond flour adds depth without heaviness, while ricotta keeps the crumb soft and delicate. This simple, elegant cake works just as well for brunch or coffee as it does for an easy dessert.
