Directions:
Place sugar in a small saucepan, add enough water to resemble wet sand. Place over med-high heat and bring to a bubble, simmer until sugar has dissolved in the water. Remove from heat and add the Limoncello. Let it cool while you prepare the cake and filling. In a bowl combine the lemon zest, ricotta cheese and the honey. Cut the angel food cake into 3 layers; make sure the slices are equal thickness, so you end up with 3 doughnut looking slices of the same thickness. Arrange the bottom slice on a serving plate. With a pastry brush drench slice with 1/3 of the Limoncello mixture, top the slice with 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture, repeat with the next layer, and finish the top with the last 1/3 of Limoncello mixture. Slice and serve alongside some mixed berries.
