Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
¾ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup brown sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for topping)
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed (for topping)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix topping ingredients: flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter until crumbly. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in blueberries.
7. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
8. Sprinkle half the streusel over the batter.
9. Add remaining batter, then top with remaining streusel.
10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Do not thaw frozen blueberries if using; it helps prevent bleeding in the batter.
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
