- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.
- Arrange Blueberries: Spread the fresh blueberries evenly in the bottom of a baking dish to create a juicy fruit base.

- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors set and make it easier to slice.
