Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt together; set aside.
Use a standing or hand mixer to cream butter, ricotta cheese and sugar until blended; add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla, lemon zest and juice until combined. Slowly add dry ingredients until fully blended.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. If the top starts to brown, place aluminum foil on top to prevent over-browning.
Remove cake from oven. Allow cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Serve, sprinkled with powdered sugar on top, if desired.
