Ricotta keeps this Italian sponge impossibly tender, perfumed with fresh orange. Deeply flavourful with a soft, even crumb and golden edges. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Cream the butter, sugar and sugar together until the mixture turns several shades lighter.
3
Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
