    Blueberry Upside Down Cake August 5th, 2009

    I was wondering if I could have a copy of your recipe of this dessert. I have made it numerous times every summer . I went to visit your post today to make it and I can’t seem to see the recipe. It is a favourite at our house and my daughter even makes it at university

  2. Hi Jennifer, here is the recipe. I also added the link where you can find it on the blog.
    Blueberry Upside-Down Cake
    ===========================
    Source: Canadian Living Magazine, August 1983

    Often called gateau aux bleuets or pouding aux bleuets, this cake and its many variations are popular in Quebec. Taken warm from the oven and turned upside-down, it becomes a delicious pudding to serve with whipped cream; left in the pan to cool, it becomes a cake. Add cinnamon it you like a pleasant spiciness; omit for a plain white cake.

    1/4 cup melted butter
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 cups blueberries (fresh or Frozen)
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/2 cup butter
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
    3/4 cup milk

    In 9 inch square cake pan, combine melted butter and brown sugar;spread evenly on bottom. Spread blueberries evenly over top. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

    Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift or mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon if using. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Spread batter evenly over blueberry layer. Bake in 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out on to large flat plate.
