For extra flavor, try using brown butter in the cake batter. The nutty flavor pairs wonderfully with the blueberries and lemon.
To prevent the blueberries from sinking too much into the cake, you can toss them with a tablespoon of cornstarch in addition to the flour.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a well-greased and floured 9-inch cake pan, but inverting the cake might be more challenging.
Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving.

    Next time, I might try adding a hint of cinnamon to the cake batter for a little extra spice.

  • Jamey Sauer

    My blueberries were a little tart, so I added a bit more sugar to the topping. It was perfect!

  • Clifton Keebler

    This cake was a huge hit at our family brunch! The lemon and blueberry flavors are so refreshing.

  • Cloyd Stiedemann

    I was a little intimidated by the upside-down part, but it was actually very easy to invert. The cake turned out beautifully!
