Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved to create a caramel mixture. Pour this into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
Evenly spread the blueberries over the caramel layer in the cake pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the remaining 1/4 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly over the blueberries in the cake pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the pudding cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
