- 1 tsp baking powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Step 5
Carefully spread the cheese filling over the batter in an even layer.
Step 6
Pour the remaining batter on top of the cheese filling, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.
Step 9
Dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish before serving warm or at room temperature.
