First of all, whisk the eggs with sugar and citrus zest until you obtain a soft and fluffy mixture. Melt the butter and add it to the mixture, then whisk well with electric whisks.

Then add the ricotta at room temperature and beat well by using the whisks at low speed.

At this point, add the flour with baking powder and continue beating at low speed, until the mixture becomes good and thick.

Now start stoning the cherries without cutting them completely. Once done, add 2-3 spoons of them in the previously prepared dough.

At this point, take a tray, butter and flour it and then pour the mixture in it. Cover the surface with the remaining cherries and put in the oven at 180°C for about 40-45 minutes.

Once ready, take it out from the oven and let it cool down well. Serve it, only after sprinkling icing sugar on it.
