Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Blueberry Compote

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Pour this mixture into the prepared cake pan.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between the two, until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the cake batter over the blueberry compote in the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm with a scoop of lemon ice cream.
