Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (Meyer if possible)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed and drained)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add in the egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla; mix until combined.
- Gradually incorporate flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, and salt; beat until well mixed.
- Finally, blend in sour cream until just combined. Spread batter over the bottom of the prepared pan and up the sides (about 1¼ inches), ensuring it’s even.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar until well combined.
- Warm heavy cream until steaming; remove from heat and stir in remaining vanilla extract.
- Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of warm cream into egg yolks while continuously stirring to prevent scrambling, then mix in remaining cream.
- Pour about three-quarters of the custard into the center of the cake batter.
- In another bowl, combine blueberries with sugar and flour, then sprinkle about 1½ cups of berries over custard.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and gently pour over reserved custard on top of baked layer. Sprinkle remaining berries on top.
- Bake an additional 20-25 minutes until sides are deep golden brown; center remains jiggly.
- Allow cooling before releasing from mold. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving for best results.
- When ready to serve, dust generously with powdered sugar and enjoy!
