320kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup ricotta cheese at room temperature
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Equipment
- oven
- baking pan
- spatula
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and lightly dust it with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. Slice and serve.
