Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries (washed and dried)
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted, for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

Step 7

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter and then spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 8

To make the crumb topping, stir together the brown sugar, 0.5 cups of flour, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 10

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
