1 1/2 sticks softened butter
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 t. baking powder

1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 orange, zested
2 T. amaretto or grand marnier

Preheat oven to 350 and great a loaf pan really well.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to blend.
Cream butter, ricotta and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, the vanilla, zest and amaretto until combined. Add dry ingredients being careful not to mix too much.
Bake 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Don't fill the pan higher than 3/4 full. Once cooled dust with powdered sugar.
