Blueberry Mystery Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup boiling water

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place blueberries in a deep 8-inch pie pan; drizzle lemon juice over blueberries.

Beat 3/4 cup sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Mix milk, alternating with flour mixture, into creamed butter mixture until batter is just combined. Pour batter over blueberries.

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl until thoroughly mixed; sprinkle over batter. Pour boiling water over sugar mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
