Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 2 cups blueberries
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier release later.

Step 2

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the light brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the melted brown sugar mixture in the pan. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the remaining 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Step 7

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the cake batter evenly over the blueberries in the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.

Step 11

Place a plate or serving dish over the pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Lift off the pan and peel away the parchment paper to reveal the beautiful blueberry topping.

Step 12

Let the Bubublueberry Upside Down Cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
