Makes 9 servings
Ingredients: Cake
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Ingredients: Topping
- 1/4 cup butter, cold
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg. Add 1-1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the vanilla extract into milk and slowly pour in the vanilla milk mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Toss the blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of remaining flour. (This prevents the berries from sinking to the bottom of the batter.) Fold the berries into the batter and spread in the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl add the topping ingredients. Combine until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve. For an extra special dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream.
