Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cubed (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large 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

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Cut in the cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
