SQLite, Ruby on rails. How to get the top voted objects with acts_as_votable gem?

I"m trying to display the best 3 Recipes from the last 7 days. The best is dependant on the amount of votes it has using the acts_as_votable gem but i have not created a cache. current user.rb, limits to the last 7 days

def featuredfeed
    Recipe.where('created_at >= ?', Time.zone.now - 1.week)
  end

recipe.rb

class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :user
  acts_as_votable

  ....

  default_scope -> { order(created_at: :desc) }

end

the votes table is ordered

id, votable_id, votable_type, voter_id, voter_type, vote_flag, vote_scope, vote_weight, created_at, updated_at

The votable_id is the id of the recipe which needs to be counted for the number of times it has been upvoted
