How to Make Cuban Blueberry Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8-inch square metal baking pan.
  3. In the prepared pan, spread 3 cups fresh blueberries.
  4. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the blueberries.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the blueberries in the prepared pan.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  10. Evenly sprinkle the sugar mixture over the cake batter.
  11. Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the entire mixture.
  12. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
