Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/3 cup flour in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 10

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