Equipment
- fine mesh strainer if you choose to add powdered sugar garnish
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter save butter wrapper to grease pan
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk See "notes" in recipe card
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 the zest of one lemon add more for extra lemon flavor
- 6 ounces blueberries (3/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Take the wrapper from the butter to grease the pan. I just rub whatever is left on the butter wrapper around the bottom and edges of the pan.
- Add the flour, sugar, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest to the bowl with the melted butter. Stir until fully combined and no longer lumpy, then pour the cake batter in the greased skillet.
- Scatter your blueberries evenly over the top of the batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The edges should look golden and crisp.
- *optional* Pour powdered sugar into a fine mesh strainer and gently tap the strainer over the cake until your desired amount of powdered sugar is distributed.
- Cut and serve the cake right from the skillet. This cake is wonderful warm or room temperature, and best the day it is baked. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is adapted from SweetPhi. I added lemon zest and vanilla, and decreased the amount of blueberries.
- To me, the 6 ounce package of organic blueberries that I buy is the perfect amount for this cake. The original recipe calls for a full pint, which is too much for my family's liking.
- I use oat milk when I make this cake, but SweetPhi says that you could use regular milk, almond milk, or your favorite type of milk.
