Blueberry Upside Down Cake

"Upside down cakes are a good technique for fruit that needs to cook down significantly in a cake. Apples are foremost, apricots too, plums and perhaps pineapples although the last mainly for the benefits of caramelization. You wouldn't think very soft fruit or berries will suffer this treatment well, the end product effectively becoming a cake with a layer of jam on top, when inverted. The effect is quite interesting though. The blueberries do turn into a jammy layer of sorts, the polenta (cornmeal) adds a crunch and it's all wonderfully summery."
