Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the crumb topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Set aside.
- Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
- Add the blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
- Bake the cake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This Blueberry Crumb Cake is a comforting, fruity treat with a deliciously crunchy topping, perfect for any time of day!
