Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 335 degrees F and line the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Spray the pan with spray oil.
  • Toss the blueberries with the cornstarch in a bowl and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest with the paddle attachment until fluffy and light. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix each one in thoroughly.
  • Add the ricotta and mix until the batter is thoroughly mixed.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a strainer, sift the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar/egg mixture and then fold with a rubber spatula until combined.
  • Fold in 2 ½ cups of the blueberries and spread the batter in the pan. Top with the remaining blueberries.
  • Bake the cake for 80 to 90 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. My baking time was 80 minutes.
  • Cool the cake on a wire rack until it is just slightly warm. Dust with the powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

This cake is perfect for serving with tea or coffee.
