Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Blueberry topping
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Lemon-almond butter cake
3/4 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 ounces almond paste (scant 1/2 cup), broken into small pieces
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons finely grated lemon peel
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces, room temperature
3 large eggs, room temperature
Lemon slices (optional)
Lemon peel curls (optional)
Additional fresh blueberries
Lemon Whipped Cream

Steps:

  • For blueberry topping:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine brown sugar and butter in 8-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides (preferably nonstick). Place cake pan over medium heat and whisk constantly until butter and sugar melt and mixture is smooth and bubbling. Using pot holders, remove pan from heat; cool 15 minutes. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over.
  • For lemon-almond butter cake:
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Combine almond paste, sugar, and lemon peel in bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until almond paste is broken into very small pieces, about 1 minute. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, beating until mixture is smooth and scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well and scraping sides of bowl after each addition. Add flour mixture and beat just until batter is smooth. Spoon batter in dollops over blueberries in pan; spread evenly with offset spatula to smooth.
  • Bake cake until deep golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 43 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 1 minute. Run small knife around cake to loosen. Place large platter atop pan. Using oven mitts or potholders and using both hands, hold platter and cake pan firmly together and invert; shake gently, allowing cake to settle on platter. Cool at least 20 minutes.
  • Garnish cake with lemon slices and lemon peel curls, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional blueberries and Lemon Whipped Cream.

Categories     Cakes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c cake flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp (scant) baking powder
1/2 c buttermilk
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 c butter, at room temperature
2/3 c sugar
1 large egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
a little powdered sugar for topping baked cake

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch round cake pan, place a circle of parchment paper over the bottom of the pan, then lightly grease the parchment paper.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. Stir the lemon zest into the buttermilk. Set aside. In a mixer bowl beat the butter and sugar on medium speed about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg white and vanilla and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add about one-third of the flour mixture to the batter and beat on medium speed until just incorporated. Add about half of the buttermilk and beat on medium speed until just incorporated. Continue adding dry and wet ingredients alternately, scraping the bowl down and beating until incorporated after each addition. End with the dry ingredients; the batter should be thick and glossy.
  • 3. Spread the blueberries out in the bottom of the prepared pan. Spoon the batter evenly over the blueberries and smooth the batter out to the sides of the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs on the toothpick and the top is flat and lightly browned. Set the cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack, remove pan. Place any blueberries remaining in an on cake and smooth out. Allow to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve cut in small slices with whipped topping.

Tips:

  • To ensure your blueberry lemon upside-down cake turns out perfectly, use fresh blueberries and lemon zest. Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch round baking pan, you can use an 8-inch square pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.

This blueberry lemon upside-down cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
