Blueberry upside-down cake with fresh or frozen blueberry topping and a whole oat and flax cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, divided
  • 2 pints blueberries, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 ounces vanilla or plain Greek yogurt (or 1 1/3 cups)
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour*
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place butter in the bottom of a greased 9” round cake pan. Place the pan in the oven for a few minutes, until butter is just melted. Remove the pan from the oven and add one tablespoon of brown sugar and stir to combine. Dump about ¾ cup blueberries into the cake pan, toss with the butter and brown sugar and form an even layer. Set the rest of the blueberries aside and set the prepared pan aside.
  3. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the eggs and remaining bowl sugar until combined, then whisk in the yogurt, oil, eggs, vanilla extract until incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with mixer on low speed, just until combined. Fold in remaining blueberries.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then place a plate upside down on top of the cake pan and turn it over so the cake turns onto the plate with the blueberry topping facing up. Slice and serve.

Notes

Substitution Tip: You can use all-purpose, whole wheat, whole wheat white, oat flour or GF all-purpose flour.
