Indulge in the irresistible charm of a Blueberry Pudding Cake—a dessert that combines the light, fluffy texture of a cake with the rich, saucy goodness of a self-saucing pudding. This easy-to-make treat bursts with the vibrant flavor of fresh blueberries nestled in a golden batter. As it bakes, a magical transformation occurs: a luscious blueberry sauce develops beneath the cake, creating a delightful contrast of textures. Perfectly complemented by the richness of brown sugar and a hint of vanilla, this dessert is ready in just over an hour and serves up to six. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a crowd-pleasing, comfort-food dessert that’s as stunning as it is scrumptious.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Scatter the blueberries evenly over the top of the batter.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the blueberries.
Pour the boiling water over the entire mixture in the dish, being careful not to stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cake portion is set.
Allow the pudding cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. The bottom will have a delicious blueberry sauce that forms during baking.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
