Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease an 8" or 9" square pan or a 9" or 10" round pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a medium-sized mixing bowl and hand-held mixer beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Mix in the baking powder, and salt until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest. Pour the flour into the mixture and continue mixing until it's well combined and a thick batter is formed.
- Using a spatula spread the batter into the prepared pan evenly and top with the blueberries. Gently press some of the blueberries into the batter.
- In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the outer layer is golden brown.

BLUEBERRY PIE BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
- For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
- Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
- Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
LEMON-BLUEBERRY BARS
Fresh blueberries make these lemon bars a bit sweeter than usual, and very jammy, but without compromising their essential acidity. The grated lime zest gives the curd another note of citrus complexity. But if you'd rather leave out the lime, use more lemon zest. Or try playing with orange and grapefruit zests. The filling stays pretty soft in these tender bars, so it's best to keep them in the fridge until right before serving, then dust with powdered sugar at the last minute.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges on all sides by a few inches. (You may need to use two pieces of parchment.)
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse to combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and pulse until a crumbly dough forms, about 10 seconds. (Or mix dry ingredients in a bowl and use pastry cutter to cut in butter, clumping the mixture together in your hands until it holds together.) Press dough into prepared pan. Bake until light golden, 25 to 35 minutes.
- As crust bakes, make the curd: In a medium pot, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, whole eggs, cornstarch and fine sea salt until well combined. Place over medium heat and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula (or wooden spoon), making sure to scrape around the sides and edges of the pot, until mixture is simmering and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Bring mixture to a boil and let cook for about 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in butter, lemon zest and lime zest, and stir until butter melts. Stir in blueberries.
- Pour mixture over crust, then stir to evenly distribute berries. Return to oven, and bake until blueberries begin to burst and curd starts to turn golden around the edges, 33 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold before cutting, at least 3 hours. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough crust.
- Be careful not to overcook the torte squares. They should be cooked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the torte squares cool completely before cutting into them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
