Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if out of season)
-
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- For the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
- You can use other berries such as raspberries or blackberries in place of blueberries.
