Blueberry Upside-Down Cake Tips
Can you use frozen blueberries to make blueberry upside-down cake?
If you find yourself without fresh blueberries, you can substitute frozen unsweetened blueberries. However, we recommend leaving the blueberries frozen, since thawed berries will discolor the batter. If you have any leftover frozen blueberries, put them to use in other recipes using frozen berries.How do you flip an upside-down cake?
The easiest way to flip an upside-down cake is to start by placing the serving platter upside down over the baking dish. Then, using oven mitts, carefully hold the platter and dish together and invert. It's important to flip this blueberry upside-down cake recipe right away, otherwise the blueberries will stick to the pan, and not the cake!How should you store blueberry upside-down cake?
If you have any leftovers, store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. If you liked this dessert, try more of our upside-down cake recipes or other blueberry dessert recipes.—Alicia Rooker, RDN, Taste Recipes Senior Recipe Editor/Tester
