Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in 1.5 cups of fresh blueberries using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 0.75 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Cut in 0.25 cup of cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the cake batter.
