In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream butter, ricotta, and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Beat eggs in one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add vanilla extract.

Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth down with a spatula.
Bake for 15 minutes then turn pan 180 degrees to ensure even browning.
