Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated erythritol sweetener (such as Swerve®)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 large eggs, divided
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) or a silicone Bundt® mold.

Step 2
Combine sweetener, butter, and 1 egg in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.

Step 3
Whisk almond flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl until well combined.

Step 4
Alternate adding almond flour mixture and remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, to the batter, mixing well after each addition. Gently fold in blueberries and pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the center is fully baked; about 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
