Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf pan with butter. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, ricotta, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the machine running, add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla, orange zest, and Amaretto until combined. Add the dry ingredients, a small amount at a time, until just incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until a tooth pick comes out clean and the cake is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 45-50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a mesh sieve, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar. Meanwhile, place the strawberries in a small bowl with the remaining one Tablespoon sugar. Let sit until the juices have pooled around the strawberries. Prepare whipping cream, flavoring it with vanilla and Amaretto. To serve, slice the cake and serve with a spoonful of strawberries and their juices over the top of the cake.

Food Joke

Two foreign nuns have just arrived in the USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the Mother Superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," she says. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs." The Mother Superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part did you get?"
