Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 150 grams)
- 1 large orange (zest and juice)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 grams), softened
- 1 cup brown sugar (200 grams)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Zest the orange and juice it. Set aside the zest and juice.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Pour into the bottom of the cake pan and arrange the blueberries and orange slices on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Then mix in the vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the blueberries and orange slices in the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional blueberries if desired.
Notes
- Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- This cake pairs well with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
