How to Make Lemon Blueberry Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Lemon Blueberry Topping:**
  3. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter in a 9-inch round cake pan over low heat.
  4. Stir in 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar until smooth and bubbling (3-4 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat. Arrange 2 cups fresh blueberries evenly over the brown sugar mixture.
  6. Grate the zest of 1 large lemon over the blueberries.
  7. **Cake:**
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.

  10. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  11. Melt 4 oz (113g) white chocolate chips and stir into the batter.
  12. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  13. Spoon batter evenly over the blueberry topping.
  14. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let cool in the pan for 3 minutes.
  16. Run a knife around the edges of the cake.
  17. Invert onto a serving plate.
  18. Cool completely before serving (at least 30 minutes).
