This Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Cake is super easy to pull together! This cake can be made all in one bowl for easy clean up!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan with cooking spray, set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar with the melted and cooled butter. Then beat in the eggs, ricotta cheese, lemon extract and lemon zest. The lemon zest is optional but recommended, it really brings something extra to the cake.
Once the eggs and ricotta are combined into the batter, mix in the flour and baking powder. Then fold in the blueberries by hand.
Spread the batter into the greased 9 inch pan. The batter will be thick, so make sure to spread it evenly. You can reserve a few blueberries and add them to the top, if desired.
Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Dense cakes tend to take extra time to bake, so depending on your oven and your cake pan, this cake could take longer to bake.
Cool in pan before removing to cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Hope you enjoy!
