Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2.5 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mix. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a bit of flour before folding to prevent sinking.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 0.25 cups of flour in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
