Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 10 oz (2 cups) blueberries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small pan, stir together 1/3 cup sugar with water, lemon juice, and cornstarch.

Step 2

Then, mix in the blueberries. Now put them on your stove on low and let's make the batter.

2

Step 3

Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: egg, milk, butter, and vanilla.

Step 5

Now, dump your dry ingredients into the wet ones and whisk some more. The batter may be lumpy, don't fret.

Step 6

Okay, back to the blueberries! Turn the heat up and let them simmer for about 3 minutes (simmer like a soft boil, I put it on medium and let it go). They smell so good.

Step 7

While you're waiting, butter your 9x9 pan.

Step 8

And pour your batter into your pan.

Step 9

When your blueberries are done, spoon them on top of your batter -- sauce and all! Bake for 20-30 minutes. To see if it's done, stick a knife into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, you're cool.

Step 10

And voila!

Step 11

This blueberry cake is really good served warm with vanilla ice cream. This time I served it cool with some cool whip and that was good too.

Would you get the same results if you put the blueberries in the pan first then the batter?
