Ingredients
  

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter until just combined.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

          Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, being cautious not to break the blueberries apart too much.

            Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter a few extra blueberries on top for a stunning effect.

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

                Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, and serve slices of cake garnished with fresh blueberries.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra touch of flavor. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch gathering!
