Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 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.
  • Cream butter and sugar in mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 min), scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • 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.
