Preparation Separate the yolks from the whites and beat the 4 yolks together with the Ricotta cheese. Add the flour, sugar, rum, candied peels, grated lemon peel and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together well.

Whip the egg whites until they are stiff then fold them into the mixture delicately. Grease a mould with butter and sprinkle it with flour and pour the mixture in. In a microwave, cook for 15 minutes at 500 Watt then for another 5 minutes with the microwave combination of 500 Watt + grill.
