Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , (or vanilla bean extract)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, (255 grams )
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups blueberries, (fresh wild )
For the Crumb Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter, (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, (packed)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep the oven and pan. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 375°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Make the batter. Mix the butter, sugar, and eggs. Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, or about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until blended.• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to blend. Add approximately one-third of the dry mixture to the first mixture, using half of the milk. Beat until smooth. Repeat this process with the remaining 1/3 of the dry mixture and the remaining milk. Add the last of the flour mixture and beat just until smooth.• Fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Spread the batter in the pan. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread gently.
- Make the topping. Combine 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter with the brown sugar, 1/3 cup of flour, and cinnamon; blend with a fork or your fingers to make the crumb topping. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the cake batter.
- Bake the cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until it springs back when lightly touched. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Serve. Slice the cooled cake and serve on small plates with extra berries or a scoop of ice cream.
