Preheat the oven at 180°C / 356F. Grease and dust with flour a 18cm/ 7″ cake pan.
Sift flour together with baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside.
In a larger bowl put ricotta cheese, sugar, butter, egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add lemon zest and lemon juice, then mix until combined.
Mix in flour to the bowl with ricotta mixture and whisk until everything is combined and there are no crumbs left.
Put egg whites and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then beat until they are stiff. See the picture below.
Mix in the beaten egg whites to the batter, working with a spatula and slowly with movements from down to upside until everything is combined.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until a stick comes out clean.
Take out from the oven, place the pan on a cooling rack and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Run a thin spatula around the pan edges to loosen the sides. Place the wire rack over the top of the pan, flip it, and tap it lightly to remove the cake.
