Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 150 grams)
- 1 large orange (zest and juice)

- 1 cup brown sugar (200 grams)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the blueberries and orange slices in the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional blueberries if desired.
Notes
