Blueberry Pudding Cake

My husband absolutely LOVES anything blueberry flavored.  So, whenever blueberries are on sale, I always stock up and keep them in the freezer.  Then I can add them to yogurt, muffins, pies, and cakes.  One of his favorite cakes is my homemade blueberry pudding cake.  It's so simple, comes together fast, and is so delicious.
First preheat your oven to 350 degrees

You will need:
2 cups blueberries, (fresh or frozen)
1 teas lemon juice
1 teas. ground cinnamon
1 teas. ground nutmeg
1 cup all- purpose flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 teas. baking powder
1/2 cup milk
3 Tab. butter, melted
1 Tab. cornstarch
1 cup boiling water

Spray a 9 X 9 baking dish with baking spray.

In a bowl, toss the blueberries with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice, make sure to coat the berries well.  Transfer the berries to the baking pan.

I use the same bowl that I coated the berries in, (less clean up).  Combine the following: 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour.  Stir to incorporate.

Add in 1/2 cup milk, 3 Tablespoons melted butter, and 1 cup boiling water.  Stir well.

Pour over the blueberries.

Combine 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch, stir well to incorporate the cornstarch into the sugar.

 Sprinkle the sugar/cornstarch mixture over the blueberries.  Gently stir into the batter mixture.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 - 50 minutes, until the cake test done.

It's been 50 minutes, and here is my cake.  A few of the blueberries are on the top, but most are dispersed under the cake batter.  Let cool on a wire rack, (about 30 minutes).  I cut my cake into 9 pieces.

As you can see the cake looks like it has blueberry pudding under the cake batter.

The blueberries are still whole, yet are suspended in a nice pudding like texture.  The next day the pudding will set up and be more like a jelly consistency.

My husband like to eat his cake still warm, with a scoop of ice cream on top.  I'm a purist, just give me the cake on a plate, plain please.

Give this cake a try as a simple after dinner dessert for your family.

Enjoy !
