1 Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F.

5 In medium bowl, beat whipping cream and 3 tablespoons sugar on high speed until soft peaks form. In large bowl, beat ricotta cheese and 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream.

A mojito typically refers to a cocktail made with lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum. We’ve taken those same flavors and turned them into a tasty cake.

In a pinch, use purchased frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead of making your own whipped cream.

Unsalted butter tastes a little sweeter than the more common salted butter. We added the coarse salt for small bursts of saltiness to complement the sweetness of the other ingredients and to bring out the lemon flavor. If you don’t have unsalted butter, salted butter can be used and omit the kosher salt.
