Ingredients
- For the Cake Batter:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar.
- 2 teaspoons of fresh baking powder.
- 1/2 teaspoon of fine table salt.
- 1 large egg at room temperature.
- 1/2 cup of whole milk.
- 1/4 cup of softened unsalted butter.
- 2 cups of fresh blue berries.
- For the Crumb Topping:
- 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar.
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour.
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- 1/4 cup of cold cubed butter.
Instructions
Heat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease your baking pan very well. This prevents the cake from sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Put flour, sugar, and powder in a bowl. Add the salt and stir it well. Use a whisk to remove any lumps.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Add the egg and the milk now. Put in the soft butter as well. Beat the mixture until it looks smooth.
Fold in Berries
- Gently add the blueberries to the batter. Do not stir too hard or fast. You do not want purple batter.
Spread in Pan
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. It will look thick and rich.
Make the Topping
- Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cold butter with forks. It should look like small wet crumbs.
Add the Topping
- Sprinkle the crumbs over the cake batter. Cover the entire top with the sugar. This creates the "buckle" look later.
Bake the Cake
- Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. The top should be golden and pretty. A toothpick should come out very clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool on a rack. Cut it into squares while still warm. Serve it with coffee or cold milk.
Notes
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor.
- Do not over-mix the thick cake batter.
- Keep the topping butter very cold.
- Toss berries in flour to prevent sinking.
- Check the cake five minutes before done.
- Use a glass pan for even browning.
- Let it rest before you slice it.
- Add lemon zest for a bright zing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight plastic container.
