Awards

PICOLIT

The crown on the coat of arms of Angoris!

A magnificent autochthonous passito wine, with a very intense yellow color, complex range of flavours from wildflowers to almond, fruity notes of peach, chestnut, and a well-bodied and elegant taste.

We love it with:
FRIULI RICOTTA CAKE

Pre-heat oven to 180C (convention)/160C (fan-forced/convection).

Grease and line a 20cm round springform cake tin with baking paper.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer (or with a wooden spoon). Add both eggs, one egg at a time and beat until pale and fluffy.

Add the ricotta, vanilla, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and flour. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until just combined and flour is completely incorporated. Stir in the apple and a tablespoon or two of milk/soy milk if you feel the batter is very hard and not easy to mix. (I used about 2 tablespoons).

Spoon into the prepared cake tin. Scatter pine nuts on top. Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes until golden, risen and pulling away from the edge of the tin. Turn off the oven. Allow to rest in the oven for 5 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely. Lift out with the baking paper and place it on a cake serving plate. Dust with icing sugar. Cut and serve.
