Ricotta Cake With Honey and Cardamom Roasted Vegetables image

This s really rich cake and can stand to be served on its own. If you want to serve veg with it buttered baby spinach or roasted potatoes work well. This came from Rose Elliott's Vegetarian supercook and made up part of a recent dinner party menu. I haven't tried this with light ricotta so I really dont know how it would turn out.
