Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of light colored 9 inch round cake pan, then dust pan with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornmeal.

Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1 cup cornmeal together in a large bowl. Whisk milk, melted butter, and eggs together in a second bowl (butter may form clumps this is okay). Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined, Stir in blueberries until just incorporated. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top.
