Blueberry and lemon are a match made in heaven, and when you add ricotta to the mix it is absolute perfection.

The Ricotta
Ricotta cheese is a smooth cheese with a creamy mild taste and a thick texture. That is why it works so perfect for this recipe. When added to the cake batter it creates a creamy and light texture that cannot be replicated with any other ingredients. In my opinion, I think it is one of the best ingredients to add into pound cake.loaf cake since it contains the richness and light texture to the cake. The ricotta cheese paired with the blueberries and lemon really bring this cake to another level!
