Ricotta Blueberry Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a 9-inch square baking dish and give it a light coating of grease to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
To begin mixing the dry ingredients, combine 3/4 cup of sugar, flour, and baking powder in a large bowl.
4
Add milk, shortening, 1 egg, and lemon extract to the dry ingredients mixture. Using an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then switching to medium speed for another minute, blend the ingredients until they are just combined.
5
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of blueberries on top.
6
In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs that have been beaten until they are smooth, ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract.
7
Spoon this mixture over the blueberries and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
8
Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take anywhere from 55 to 60 minutes.
9
Once done, let the cake cool completely before cutting it into squares and serving.
