Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup milk

• 2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Crumb Topping:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

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

2. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the ½ cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until clumps form. Set aside.

3. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well, then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in 1.5 cups of the blueberries.

6. Assemble: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Scatter the remaining ½ cup of blueberries on top, then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the berries.

7. Bake: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tip: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar right before serving for that beautiful bakery look!
