ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 room temperature eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 stick melted and cooled unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups room temperature whole milk ricotta
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 zested orange
- Garnish powdered sugar
- Garnish orange slices
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9 inch cake pan with cooking spray and a circle of parchment paper.
Step 2
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Zest the orange over the dry ingredients. Rub the zest into the flour mixture to release the oils.
Step 3
In a bowl of a stand mixer, whisk eggs, ricotta, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Remove from the mixer, then fold in the cranberries.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and the reserved orange slices.
