Ricotta Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• 350°F (177°C).
• Place oven rack in the center position.
• Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl.
• In a large stand mixer bowl, cream together the butter, ricotta, and sugar, then adding eggs, one at a time, allowing each to incorporate before adding the next. Add vanilla.
• Set mixer speed to low, and gradually add the dry ingredients. Once added, allow the batter to mix for 30 seconds or so.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the batter.
• Bake the cake on the center rack for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 325°F (160°C) and bake about 25-60 minutes more, or until cake springs back from touch and has slightly pulled away from pan sides, and a toothpick comes out clean (baking time is approximate: the amount of water in the ricotta determines the baking time in the end).
• Cool the cake inside the loaf pan for 15 minutes before removing. Allow the cake to finish cooling outside the pan from then on.

Steps:

• 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 combine.

Add the vanilla, orange zest, and Amaretto until combined. Add the dry ingredients, a small amount at a time, until just incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a mesh sieve, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar.
• Meanwhile, place the strawberries (or orange supremes) in a small bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit until the juices have pooled around the strawberries.
• To serve, slice the cake and serve with a spoonful of strawberries and their juices over the top of the cake.

• The ricotta will be on the bottom and the nice moist cake on the top.
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Whip together butter and ricotta cheese. This recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups. I use an entire 15 oz container.
• Add sugar and blend.
• Beat in one egg at a time until combined.
• Contine adding extract, zest, and juice. You may scale back the amount of zest. I love the flavor punch, so I use the zest of two lemons.
• In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients.
• Combine wet with dry turning mixture into a greased 9x5x3 loaf pan.
• Bake about 50 minutes. Because of the ricotta cake may have a slight wiggle.
• If you wish, stem and slice strawberries. Add a few tablespoons of sugar and the juice of the remaining lemon. This is a great topping for the cake.

Steps:

• To prepare dough: combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Knead dough and roll with rolling pin to form thin layer.
• To prepare filling: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, cooked rice, eggs, salt, sugar, and vanilla extract. Line ovenproof dish, or pie plate, with the dough, reserving any extra dough. Place filling in dough. Use leftover dough to decorate top of cake. If using dough on top, sprinkle with cake decorations. Bake for 40 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat ricotta, sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl on medium-high speed until mixture is very light, 7 to 9 minutes. Mixture will look almost grainy and curdled--that is normal. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture on high speed for another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in lemon zest and juice and lime zest and juice, until thoroughly incorporated. Add dry ingredients in three separate additions, mixing until only just combined after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges and center of the pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing: whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt until completely smooth. Add in lemon and lime zests and juices and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour icing over the cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) or a silicone Bundt® mold.

Beat batter an additional 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed after adding the last egg. Mix in almond extract.
• Use a small paring knife to slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds out of each half and add to the batter. Mix on low speed until vanilla seeds are evenly dispersed.

• To serve, slice the cake and serve topped with a spoonful of strawberries and their juices.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9×5" loaf pan or a 10-12-cup Bundt pan (or spray with nonstick cooking spray). If using a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2" of excess on each side to help you lift the cake out of the pan. If using a Bundt, sprinkle the inside of the pan with sugar, including the center cone.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, and sour cream until combined. Add the oil and vanilla and mix until well blended. Whisk in the sugar, baking powder, salt, and zest until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour until just incorporated.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-65 minutes for the loaf pan, 40-55 minutes for the Bundt, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before unmolding and slicing.
