Cook Time80 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour (see note)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup Egg Beaters® or 3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 Tbs vanilla
1 large lemon (zest and 2 Tbs juice)
1/2 cup (1 stick) Brookshire’s Unsalted Butter, melted
3 cups blueberries, divided
1/4 cup lemon curd
2 Tbs Brookshire’s Whole Milk
2/3 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add ricotta, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. Fold into dry ingredients just until blended. Add melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of blueberries. Stir carefully to not crush the blueberries.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Scatter remaining blueberries on top. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until edges are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Then, invert the cake onto a large cake plate.
- To make the glaze, add the lemon curd and milk to a measuring cup. Stir in the powdered sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over the cake, or serve slices with glaze spooned over the top.
Note: If using real eggs instead of Egg Beaters®, reduce flour to 1 1/2 cups.
