Ingredients
  

1 cup ricotta cheese

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

Zest of 1 lemon

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    In a mixing bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.

      Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest until fully incorporated.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined (be careful not to overmix).

          Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top for added visual appeal.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown on the edges.

                Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
