Blueberry Upside Down Cake

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Whipped topping, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter; stir in brown sugar. Spread into an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Arrange blueberries in a single layer over brown sugar mixture; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream remaining butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.

Carefully pour over blueberries. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Immediately invert onto a serving platter. Cool. Serve with whipped topping if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
