1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup limoncello liqueur
2 large eggs

Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions

3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the bowl and fold gently until just combined.
4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, replace limoncello with lemon juice and extra zest.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Best served within 2–3 days for peak freshness.
