Step 1
Add ricotta, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar to a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Fold in flour and baking powder until just combined. Don't overmix; a few streaks of dry flour are fine.
Step 3
Pour batter into a greased 8-inch round microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 6–7 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Let cool in the dish for 3 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Serve warm with fresh lemon slices and hot tea.
