Source:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) | unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more to grease the baking pan |
1 1/2 cups | cake flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons | baking powder |
1 teaspoon | kosher salt |
1 1/2 cups | whole-milk ricotta cheese |
1 1/2 cups | plus 1 table spoon granulated sugar |
3 large | eggs |
1 teaspoon | pure vanilla extract |
1 | orange, zested |
2 tablespoons | amaretto Confectioners' sugar, for dusting |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with butter. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to blend.
Using a mixer, cream the butter, ricotta and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the machine running, add the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla, orange zest and amaretto until combined. Add the dry ingredients, a small amount at a time, until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. To wrap, return to the pan and dust with confectioners' sugar.
