Easter cake from Campania - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, ricotta is a great alternative to cottage cheese and will give the filling a smoother, creamier texture. Just ensure it's well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.
Yes, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour for better texture.
Dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots work well. Soak them in warm water or rum for 10 minutes to soften before using.
Cover the edges of the cake with aluminum foil if they darken too quickly. Bake on the middle rack and check at 40 minutes for doneness.
