Preheat the oven and prepare the filling
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a medium saucepan, add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if you want a thicker syrup consistency). Heat over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes while stirring gently. Once the mixture starts to thicken and lightly simmer, remove from heat. Pour this filling into a 9 x 9 inch (23 x 23 cm) square baking dish lightly buttered or lined with parchment paper.
Prepare the cake batter
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until you get a pale and fluffy mixture. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until smooth. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cake flour, and salt. Gradually incorporate them into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Do not overmix: the batter should be smooth but not too worked, to keep it as moist as possible.
Prepare the blueberry pudding
Gently place the cake batter on top of the blueberry filling in the baking dish. Spread evenly using a spatula to cover all the fruits. It's okay if some blueberries rise to the surface during cooking - this will give a nice marbled effect.
Baking
Bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is well browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The blueberry pudding should be well risen and slightly crispy on top, while remaining tender inside.
Cooling and serving
Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The blueberry pudding is delicious warm, but can also be eaten cold.

Our Tips

Chef's tips for making this recipe

For a twist, consider adding a lemon zest to the batter for a touch of freshness. If you enjoy spices, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can subtly but deliciously enhance the flavors. For a more indulgent version, incorporate white chocolate chunks into the mix. This sweet contrast pairs wonderfully with the little fruits. Store your dessert in the refrigerator in an airtight container, and reheat it slightly in the oven before serving to revive its soft texture.
