Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in sugar until dissolved. Add 1 teaspoon lemon peel. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Arrange blueberries in a single layer over top; set aside.

Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Stir in the remaining lemon peel. Carefully pour over blueberries.

Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 9 servings.

Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw.
