Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch round cake pan, place a circle of parchment paper over the bottom of the pan, then lightly grease the parchment paper.
- 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. Stir the lemon zest into the buttermilk. Set aside. In a mixer bowl beat the butter and sugar on medium speed about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg white and vanilla and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add about one-third of the flour mixture to the batter and beat on medium speed until just incorporated. Add about half of the buttermilk and beat on medium speed until just incorporated. Continue adding dry and wet ingredients alternately, scraping the bowl down and beating until incorporated after each addition. End with the dry ingredients; the batter should be thick and glossy.
- 3. Spread the blueberries out in the bottom of the prepared pan. Spoon the batter evenly over the blueberries and smooth the batter out to the sides of the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs on the toothpick and the top is flat and lightly browned. Set the cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack, remove pan. Place any blueberries remaining in an on cake and smooth out. Allow to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve cut in small slices with whipped topping.

Steps:
- For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Use a fine grater to zest 1 teaspoon zest from each of the citruses (for a total of 1 tablespoon zest). Reserve the zest for the cake.
- Cut the top and bottom off of each citrus and place them with a flat side on the cutting board. Then, following the curve of the fruit, use a sharp knife to cut off the peels and as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds; carefully remove any seeds.
- Combine the butter and sugars in a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat until melted. Pour into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Top with the citrus rounds so that they fit very snugly and are slightly overlapping (you may not use every slice). Drizzle with the orange liqueur, if using.
- For the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Put the butter, sugar and reserved zest in another bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour; mix until just combined.
- Pour the cake batter over the citrus and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center just comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake and let it cool for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a platter, replacing any citrus that may have stuck to the pan. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

BERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE
Buttermilk makes this stir-together cake super tender, but you can use any milk you have in its place. Same goes for the fruit: Use your favorite frozen berries, or a combination, but frozen cherries, mango or peaches work as well. Just cut any big fruit pieces into bite-size pieces before folding into the batter. And if you do happen to have fresh summer fruit around, that'll work, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan oven. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin then line the base and ends with grease proof paper.
- Put the butter, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer for 5 minutes until pale and creamy - the mixture will be very thick.
- Spread one-quarter of the mix into the tin, then scatter over a third of the fruit.
- Carefully dot and spread another quarter of the cake mix on top, and scatter with another third of the fruit, repeat this step.
- Finally dot the rest of the cake mix over and gently spread with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 1 hour until an inserted skewer comes out clean, then leave to cool.

Blueberry pie and cheesecake in one dessert? Wow! You'll keep coming back for one more bite... and later realize it is almost gone. In the flaky pie crust is a blueberry base that was fresh with a slight sugar crunch. The cheesecake layer is creamy and super delicious. This is a delicious pie!

Steps:
- 1. Prepare your favorite pie crust or you can use a 9 inch deep-dish ready to bake pie crust.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour. Add blueberries and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat thoroughly.
- 3. Spoon blueberry mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Distribute sugar and flour mixture evenly over berries as this has a tendency to settle in the bottom of the bowl, so give the bowl one last good flip so you get all the gravy off the bottom. Dot with butter. Do not fill pie crust completely to the top as you need to save room for the cheesecake topping.
- 4. Bake pie at 350 degrees for 25 mins. To prevent over-browning of crust cover edges with tin foil or a pie shield.
- 5. After 25 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until the edges are a golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 min on a wire rack.
- 6. Onto the cheesecake. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the lemon juice and gelatin. Whip well getting all the lumps out.
- 7. Once everything is smooth, heat your lemon juice and mix completely with both packages of gelatin. Mix entirely and ensuring no lumps of powder. Do not overheat, heat just enough to dissolve gelatin.
- 8. Slowly add your lemon juice to the cheesecake mixture. Whip well to mix everything. Don't move too fast as the heat of the lemon juice may break down your Cool Whip. Let the mixture chill for at least 5 mins.
- 9. Pour your cream cheese over the cooling blueberry pie. Cover and smooth to edges.
- 10. Let chill for one hour or if possible overnight. Cut into slices and enjoy.

BLUEBERRY-LIME BUTTERMILK UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
I came up with this cake to use up little bits of things I had laying around: blueberries, white chocolate, buttermilk and limes. And I gotta say, I love this cake. A hint of buttermilk and white chocolate in the light cake with a crispy crusty "bottom", enriched with an sweet and sticky brown sugar-blueberry-lime "top." If you are not a huge fan of very sweet desserts, you may want to reduce the brown sugar in the topping to 1/2 cup or so. It is phenomenal served with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream!
