Blueberry Lemon Upside-Down Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by lightly coating it with butter and dusting it evenly with flour. This will ensure a smooth, even release of the cake once it's baked.
3
Make the blueberry topping by combining fresh or frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of lemon zest in a bowl. Gently mix the ingredients together until the blueberries are evenly coated with sugar and flour, then pour the mixture into your prepared pan.
4
In a separate bowl, cream together granulated sugar and unsalted butter using an electric mixer until they reach a light and fluffy consistency. Gradually add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate the eggs fully.
5
Add lemon zest and almond extract to the butter mixture, stirring until well combined.
6
To create the cake batter, combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl; whisk until smooth. Gradually add milk to the butter mixture, alternating with the flour mixture as you go and mixing just until everything is fully incorporated.
7
Pour the cake batter over the blueberry topping in your prepared pan, making sure to spread it evenly.
8
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9
Once the cake is done, place a serving plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert both the cake and the plate together, so that the blueberries are on top.
10
Carefully release the springform pan by unlocking its buckle, and remove it from the oven.
11
Finally, sprinkle some toasted almonds over the top of your cake and serve warm.
