A couple years ago a friend made a cornmeal cake cake w/ me. It was coarse cornmeal, grainy, not too sweet and very moist and lemony. Absolutely delicious. I think it was a bundt shape, defitely not a lamb, but of course if I had a lamb shaped pan, things may have been different.

It was made with leavened dough, or was a moist cake...can you describe it better?

I'm almost positive it was a moist cake with a grainy texture . it's been a long time

It 's possible that inside there was the ricotta? I know only one cake made with semolina and ricotta and humid but it is Neapolitan, and is not shaped like a lamb but is common in the Easter period.

Of course it would be worth a look at and maybe a try .I grew up in a mostly Sicilian neighborhood in the '50's in Brooklyn but there were plenty of Napolitani also.In those days I just ate.
