    We loved it! Moist and delicious. It was done in 45 minutes to perfect consistency. I will make this again and again.

    I love it!! My husband, son and I, ate a piece when was still warm. I made it in a round cake pan. I added 2 1/2 tablespoon of Amaretto, instead of 2. Delicious. If was done at 65 minutes. I will make again. Thank you.

    Amazing! The only change I made was to substitute 1/2tsp pure almond extract and 2 tbs Cointreau for the Amaretto (which I didn't have. Everything else I did EXACTLY the same for the cake. My cook time was right at 50 minutes.
    Get cake flour, it will make a difference. NOT AP flour! And note that the recipe says Kosher salt, but in her video she uses regular table salt.
    I agree with other reviewers, it was the right amount of sweetness. Not too sweet. And the consistency was perfect! I love the hints of orange with the zest and Cointreau. It wasn't too much. It got rave reviews! Definitely a special occasion treat, when you consider the amount of butter/sugar/cheese. But worth every bite!!!
    Perfect for dessert or a tea party!

    This bread definitely took longer to bake...about 1 1/2 hours, but it was worth the wait. It was incredibly dense and moist. I love making sweet breads and this one is a nice addition to my recipes. I'll be making it again...and soon!

    This was incredible! The cake was very dense, but so moist and flavorful. I didn't have Amaretto so I used an overflowing teaspoon of almond extract instead. I also used part skim ricotta and can't imagine the cake tasting any better. I did have to cook it about 15 minutes longer than stated. I checked it at 45 minutes and kept adding 5 minute intervals and testing with a toothpick. It was a lovely dessert as well as breakfast!

    This cake was delicious! Everyone I served it to loved it. I baked the cake in a glass loaf pan in an electric oven. I had to bakevit an additional fifteen minutes.
