I made Ina Garten's blueberry-ricotta breakfast cake, which she said is perfect for Mother's Day.
The cake is super moist, light, and delicious — and so easy to make before a big brunch.

I've been whipping up Ina Garten's dishes for years and always love trying her breakfast and dessert recipes.

Whether it's her delicious cacio e pepe scrambled eggs or her famous mocha icebox cake, the "Barefoot Contessa" star is always creating fun new twists on classic dishes.

So, I decided to try Garten's blueberry-ricotta breakfast cake, which she said is perfect for Mother's Day.

Before I began making Garten's breakfast cake, I needed to do a little prep.

First I zested my lemon.Anneta Konstantinides/Business Insider

I also greased and floured my 9-inch round springform pan.
