Ingredients
- 1 measuring cup of granulated erythritol sweetener, like the one from Swerve® brand
- Half a cup of unsalted butter at room temperature
- Four large eggs, split
- One and one-fourth measuring cups of whole milk ricotta cheese
- A tablespoon of lemon zest
- A teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- Two and a half measuring cups of blanched almond flour
- Two teaspoons of baking powder
- One-third measuring cup of fresh blueberries
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and preparing a lovely fluted tube pan or a delightful silicone Bundt® mold by giving it a light coating of grease.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine your sweetener, butter, and one egg, then whip them up with an electric mixer until they become delightfully light and fluffy. To this mixture, add in the creamy ricotta cheese, fragrant lemon zest, and a splash of vanilla extract, stirring until everything blends harmoniously.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder until they form a smooth mixture. Now, in a playful dance, take turns adding the almond flour mixture and the remaining three eggs, one by one, into the batter, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Finally, gently fold in the juicy blueberries and pour the batter into your prepared pan.
Step 4
Slide your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, signaling that the cake is perfectly baked through, usually around 50 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then perform a graceful flip onto a wire rack to let it cool completely.
Step 5
Top tip: For an extra touch of elegance, dust the cooled cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of lemon glaze before serving. Enjoy your scrumptious creation with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat!
