Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the streusel topping.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake 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.

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
