Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Prepare topping: Pour melted butter into the bottom of the pan and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over it. Spread blueberries on top of the sugar.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour, mixing until just combined.
- Assemble and bake: Pour batter over the blueberries in the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Finish and serve: Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- Frozen blueberries can be used but do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
