Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
Streusel Topping Ingredients
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed, dark or light
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter hardened, not too soft

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. For the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the hardened butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. This blueberry buckle is also delicious on its own!
