This is my favorite part of my favorite meal! The pudding really bakes up as a cake, but the delicious lemon sauce crowning each piece has a pudding-like consistency. This dessert is so good I can't resist making it several times during blueberry season, but my family has never complained about having it too often.

LEMON CREAM SAUCE:
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
PUDDING:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and drained
In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch and sugar. Stir in water; cook and stir until thickened and clear. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice. Cool. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream; fold cooled mixture into cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For pudding, combine dry ingredients in another mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until particles are the size of small peas. Add eggs and milk and beat on low until thoroughly combined. Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Sprinkle berries over batter. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until cake tests done. Serve warm or cold with Lemon Cream Sauce.
