Ingredients

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

Zest of 1 lemon

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

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

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, reserving a few blueberries for topping.

Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Scatter reserved blueberries on top for an eye-catching finish.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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

Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, lightly dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a lovely finish.
