    This mushroom cake is very easy to make, nothing fancy but the type of recipe you can make for lunch with a nice cup of soup. I bought
    the mushrooms to make another recipe, but at the last minute, I realized that I didn't have all the ingredients for it. Don't you hate when that happens? But, that is how this mushroom cake was born and I loved it.

      I've never had mushroom cake ....this looks divine! And so great with a bowl of soup. The ricotta must make the cake nice and moist. This is one I'm going to try! Copying it now.
