The Best Mini Blueberry Upside Down Cakes Recipe
I have always been a fan of upside down cakes. From my mini strawberry upside down cakes to my mini peach upside down cakes, I can’t get enough of these little treats! This time, I decided to use blueberries. The blueberries are perfect for any time of year, since you can use frozen blueberries! Once inverted, you can see the bright purple color and juicy blueberries. Their mini form are not only adorable, but the perfect portion! You can serve your blueberry mini cakes with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat. To make a beautiful Fourth of July spread, you can make a combination of blueberry upside down cakes and strawberry upside down cakes for a red and blue combination!
Ingredients Needed
Butter: Butter will be added to both the blueberry topping and the cake batter! Make sure that you use softened butter in the cake batter. Light Brown Sugar: Brown sugar will also go into the topping and into the cake batter for lots of flavor! Frozen Blueberries: I used frozen blueberries. You can use fresh if you have them on hand! Sugar: Granulated sugar work well for the vanilla cake layer. Egg: Egg adds structure and helps the mini cakes rise a little bit in the oven! Vanilla: For added flavor. Flour: All-purpose flour works great. If you want to make gluten-free mini blueberry upside down cakes, use a gluten-free replacement flour with a 1 to 1 ratio. Salt: To balance the flavors! Baking Powder: Also helps the cakes rise in the oven. Milk: For moisture!

Tips & Tricks
Let the mini blueberry cakes cool! I know it takes patience, but let them cool for at least 5 minutes, if not more, so that the blueberries can set before being inverted. Don’t over mix the cake batter! Once the flour is added, be sure not to over mix the cake batter. Over mixing can result in a tough cake! Use fresh or frozen blueberries! You can absolutely use either fresh or frozen blueberries for these mini blueberry upside down cakes.
