  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 9-inch round or square baking pan
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Streusel Topping:
  4. In a bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  5. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Cream Butter and Sugar:
  8. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  9. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  11. Add Blueberries:
  12. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  13. Assemble the Cake:
  14. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter.
  15. Bake:
  16. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
