Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of melted unsalted butter, 0.5 cups of whole milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gently fold in 1.5 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent excess staining.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

To prepare the crumble topping, combine 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of cold, diced unsalted butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
