How to Make Giada's Ricotta Orange Cake | Food Network

If you’ve watched an episode or two of her Food Network or Discovery shows you may know Giada De Laurentiis as a pasta pro and antipasto ace. But as we learned in an episode of the Allrecipes Homemade podcast the chef cookbook author mother and entrepreneur is all about balance: work and rest. Carbs and veggies. Limoncello and lemon water.

And recently she reminded us that she's also a whiz at savory and sweet.

"My aunt Raffy told me about a cherry cake her grandmother and mother made a long time ago and wanted me to try to recreate it! It's the perfect season for it because there are so many fresh cherries and I love baking with fresh seasonal produce" De Laurentiis said of her Italian cherry cake which she shared on Instagram. "This is a delicious cake with a slight almond flavor. I love the combination of almond and cherry."
