"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
How to Make Ricotta Cake: Preheat oven to 350˚. Grease a 9” springform pan & line the bottom with a ring of parchment. Whisk together flour, salt & baking powder; set aside.
In large mixing bowl, beat together eggs & sugar on high speed for 2 min until frothy. Blend in melted butter until smooth. Add 15oz ricotta, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract & 1Tbsp lemon zest; beat on med speed for 1 min just until blended.
Add flour mixture; beat on low speed just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle 1½ cups blueberries evenly over the top.
Bake in center of oven at 350˚ for 60-65 min until edges are lightly brown & cake appears set. It will still have a slight jiggle in center. Remove from oven; cool 20 min in pan then transfer to a cake platter. Once cake is on cake platter, you should be able to easily slide out parchment from under cake.

How to Make Lemon Glaze: In small bowl or measuring cup, stir together powdered sugar & lemon juice, adding more juice or powdered sugar to thin or thicken the glaze to desired consistency. Drizzle over warm cake and serve.
