Blueberry Upside-Down Mini Cakes

These delicious mini cakes are filled with blueberry goodness and topped with a caramelized layer of sugar and butter.

Ingredients

  • frozen blueberries (2 cups)
  • lemon (1 )
  • white sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
  • brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • unsalted butter (0.5 cup)
  • white sugar (0.5 cup)
  • eggs (2 )
  • vanilla extract (1.5 teaspoons)
  • all-purpose flour (1.25 cups)
  • baking powder (1.75 teaspoons)
  • ground ginger (0.5 teaspoon)
  • salt (1 pinch)
  • milk (0.5 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter six 4-inch ramekins and place in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix blueberries, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons white sugar together in a small bowl.
  3. Microwave 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar. Spread equal amounts into the bottom of each ramekin. Divide the blueberry mixture evenly into the ramekins.
  4. Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup white sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt; stir until combined. Mix in milk. Spoon batter into the ramekins over the blueberry mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
  6. Let cool in the ramekins for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cakes; invert onto a plate.
