Amaretto Cake



From the kitchen of AnnMarie Barkwell



_______________________________________


A friend of mine shared this wonderful recipe with me. Amaretto, orange zest & creamy ricotta flavor this pound cake. Slices are then topped with juicy sugared strawberries.



Cream:

3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temp.

1 1/2 c whole milk ricotta cheese

1 1/2 c sugar

Cream until light & fluffy.

Add while mixer is on, one at a time:

3 large eggs

Add:

1 tsp vanilla

zest of 1 orange

2 Tbsp amaretto

Slowly add, just until incorporated:

1 1/2 c cake flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Pour into a greased & floured 9x5x3 loaf pan.


Bake @ 350, 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Cool completely.

Dust cooled cake with confectioner sugar.


Meanwhile, mix:

1 pint strawberries, hulled & quartered

1 Tbsp sugar

Let set until juices pool around berries.


To serve, slice the cake & top with a spoonful of strawberries & their juices.
