Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan or an 8x8-inch pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in 0.5 cup of unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 0.75 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 egg. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold 1.5 cups of blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cup of flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 0.25 cup of butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely (if desired). Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
