Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh blueberries

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup sour cream

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

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

    In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly.

      Scatter the fresh blueberries over the brown sugar layer, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

          In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.

            Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

              Pour the batter over the blueberries in the cake pan, spreading it evenly to cover the blue layer.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate to reveal the blueberry layer on top.

                    Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
