- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (12 ounces), divided
- 2 tbsp sifted confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan, shaking out any excess flour.

- With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the ricotta, sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest and mix well.
- The batter will look curdled. Don't panic.
- In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing just until incorporated.
- With a rubber spatula, fold two-thirds of the blueberries into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
- Scatter the remaining blueberries on the cake, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Remove the sides of the pan and lightly dust the top with the confectioners’ sugar.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
