Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pint blueberries, washed; 2/3 cup sugar, separated; 2 cups sifted unbleached flour; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 4 tablespoons butter; 1 egg; 1 cup milk; 2 teaspoons vanilla; 3 teaspoons Royal Baking Powder (see headnote); 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1
Put the blueberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup water in a quart saucepan. Set the pan over a medium flame and bring to a boil. Turn the flame down and leave the berries at a quiet, rather gentle boil for 3-4 minutes. Drain the berries, reserving their juices.
2
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and blend with fingertips or, even better, a pastry blender until the mixture is grainy, fine, and a bit more coarse than cornmeal. Beat the egg and mix in the milk, then add to the dough, stirring all the while. Add the vanilla and continue stirring. Last, stir in the baking powder. Mix well and spoon into a well-buttered 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan.
3
Quickly scatter the well-drained blueberries over the pan of dough. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Set the cake into a preheated 425u00b0F oven. Close the door and turn the oven down to 375u00b0F. Cook for 25 to 28 minutes.
4
While the cake cooks, make the drained blueberry juices into a sauce. Boil the juices, adding sugar to taste only if necessary. Stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
