Blueberry Ricotta Cake

Here is a prayer from Charity, a recipe, and a quote. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
What are you baking? I just made this cake and it’s been such a hit! Obediah was up at the early morning hours getting a slice, so I know if it’s better than sleeping it’s good. It’s a cross between cheese cake and lemon cake.I like to make my cakes, with measured by grams. I’ll include both ways.

RICOTTA BLUEBERRY CAKE
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Batter:
1 cup flour or 120 g.
3/4 cup sugar or 150 g.
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder or 5.7 g.
1/2 teaspoon salt or 3 g.
1/3 cup oatmilk or 82 g.
1/4 cup softened butter or 57 g. (earth balance or miyoko’s butter)
1 large egg or 44 ml of ‘just egg’ (vegan product)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
zest of a lemon
fresh blueberries or for fun I added a few fresh blackberries as well

Cheese cake topping:
2 large eggs or 88 ml. ‘just egg”‘
kite hill ricotta 227 g. plus 42g. vegan cream cheese miyoko’s is great (1 1/4 cup ricotta)
1/3 cup sugar or 67 g.
dash of vanilla
1/2 of a lemon juiced

Blueberry Compote: fresh/frozen blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, sprinkle of chia seeds all reduced down in a cast iron. Soften the berries but do not fully break them.

Grease a cheese cake pan with removable bottom (I used a fluted tart pan, those edges were tough to get loose). Dust it with rice flour for added ease.

In a small bowl, combine dry batter items flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Add the milk, butter, egg and vanilla, beating till smooth. Spoon the batter into a greased 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan sprinkle the blueberries over the batter.
Make the ‘cheesecake topping’: grab a small bowl beat the eggs and beat in the cheese, sugar and vanilla. After spread evenly over the blueberries.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 min or until golden brown.Serve after cooling, like cheesecake, and top with blueberry compote. Oh my goodness, is it good.



WORDS I VALUE:
“Do you not feel, my brethren, that the gospel of God is peace to man? Where else can peace be found but in the message of Jesus?” Charles Spurgeon
