Once the wet ingredients are fully combined, fold in the dry ingredients being careful not to over mix. Allow to sit out at room temperature, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.In the meantime, make the Vanilla Coffee Ricotta (recipe below).Place a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet and place in an oven set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
