Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons shortening

3/4 cup milk

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups blueberries
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup pasteurized egg

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
2 Cream together white sugar and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; mix in egg until incorporated. Stir in milk. Sift in flour and baking powder; mix well. Fold in blueberries. Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
