Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a cake pan with cold butter.

2. In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Set aside.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixture combine the eggs, milk, orange juice and zest, vanilla, and ricotta. Mix until fully combined. Slowly pour in the melted butter.

4. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet and combine using the paddle attachment. Mix lightly just until everything is incorporated.

5. Pour the batter in the greased pan and tap on the counter 3 times to release any air bubbles.
