Description
A warm, sweet cake filled with caramelized blueberries that brings joy to any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of the greased pan and spread it evenly.
- Arrange the fresh blueberries over the caramel in a single layer.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter gently over the blueberries and smooth the top.
- Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes in the pan so the caramel firms up slightly.
- Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Place a plate over the pan and invert the pan to release the cake onto the plate.
- Serve the cake warm so the caramel shines and the berries feel soft.
