Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup full-fat ricotta cheese

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly oil or butter a 9-inch spring-form baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat butter until light and creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in ricotta, almonds, vanilla, orange juice and zest. In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal with baking powder and salt, then fold into batter.
