Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cup All-purpose flour:
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbps Baking powder
  • 1/2 tbps Salt
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of softened butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, until well combined.Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of blueberries until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • After cooling slightly, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  1. Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, toss them with a little flour before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
  2. Streusel Topping: Don't overmix the streusel topping. It should have a crumbly texture, not a smooth dough-like consistency.
  3. Mixing the Batter: Be careful not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough cake.
  4. Cooling Time: Allowing the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack helps it set and prevents it from falling apart when removed.
