What went wrong? Within minutes of putting this in the oven, the batter rose up and flowed over the top of the size-specified loaf pan, causing a Christmas Eve disaster in my kitchen.

Love this cake. I'm already making it for the second time. It was so good that when friends stoped by our house my husband would insist they try a piece.
I had to cook it for 60 mins but it came out perfect. A nice crust on the outside but perfectly moist inside.
The only thing I changed was that I used Grand Marnier instead of Amaretto because it is what I had on hand.

Loved it. Yes I had to bake an extra 25 minutes the first time due to the center being wet, but came out delicious. They loved it, so I baked 3 more as gifts.
Definited test it before taking out of oven. Extra cooking time may be necessary.

Awesome cake!! Not too sweet, not too heavy. I didn't have cake flour on hand so i just sifted regular flour instead. The flavors were so good. The orange with the ricotta for moistness just makes it! I must note that I had to keep the cake in the oven for an extra 15 minutes or so because it was still runny. Other than that, great recipe.

I made this last night and it is out of this world delicious!

Mine started to spill over to, so I put a cookie sheet under for a little bit until the sides started to crisp up and then took out and continued to cook it. When mixing ingredients and cooking times according to recipe, I just follow my gut. Any recipe I have ever followed with exact times or mixing times have been wrong. So it probably depends on machine, or hand mixer and so on. So use your own judgment on those things. Definitely start to check the cake around 45 minutes and every 5 minutes after to see if cooked. I left mine in the pan for a little longer than they said. I can see how it could fall apart as it's very moist!

Enjoy!

I hoped to make this cake as a gift for friends at Christmas, but am glad I tried it today. Baked for 50 minutes, but when I went to transfer to rack, the middle fell out. While it smells delicious, would not attempt to make it again.

Experienced cook and followed recipe exactly. The batter spilled over the pan, down the sides of the pan, and burned on the bottom of the oven, within the first 15 minutes in the oven. Cleaned it all up. Continued baking the cake for 50 minutes but cake batter was still wobbly in the center, so added another 10 minutes. Cake tester came out clean. Bottom line: do not over mix the ingredients. The cake taste is very good and I will try to make it again.

Baked these for my gourmet club friends as Christmas gifts. They loved it and had to have the recipe. Don't overbeat the eggs, ricotta and sugar or the cake will rise too high and then fall. The recipe says to beat them for 3 minutes. That is too long. It is a very moist cake from all the liquor. Very rich! When done, the cake tester will come out wet but no crumbs should stick. It will appear jiggly in the center but should be done at 50 minutes.
