Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the streusel topping ingredients: flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter in the pan.
- Spoon the remaining batter over the streusel layer and spread evenly. Top with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
