Description
A delicious blueberry cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat the blueberries. Pour the melted butter into the prepared cake pan, then sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the butter. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated sugar and the eggs together until light and fluffy. Add the milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Carefully pour the batter over the blueberries in the cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the cake pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate, allowing the blueberries to be on top.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
Notes
- This cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
