Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Batter:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter or margarine, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling:
1 cup (8 ounces) small-curd cottage or ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or ground cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F if using a glass pan). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • 2. To make the batter: In a blender, food processor, or large bowl, beat together all the batter ingredients until smooth.
  • 3. To make the filling: Combine all the filling ingredients.
  • 4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, drop the filling by heaping tablespoonfuls over the batter, then carefully top with the remaining batter (the layers will mix a bit). The loaf can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Return to room temperature before baking.
  • 5. Bake until puffed and lightly browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm, accompanied with a fruit sauce or fresh fruit if desired.
