Ingredients
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon non-alcoholic vanilla essence
3/4 cup all-purpose flour for topping
1/2 cup brown sugar for topping
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for topping
Pinch of salt for topping
5 tablespoons unsalted butter for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly using softened butter on a paper towel to rub evenly into metal.
Cream butter and sugar: In a stand mixer with whisk attachment, beat 10 tablespoons butter and 3/4 cup sugar on low to medium speed until homogeneous (about 1-2 minutes).
Increase mixer speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until batter is pale and fluffy, resembling clouds.
Beat in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon non-alcoholic vanilla essence slowly to emulsify the mixture, then increase mixing speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Alternate additions: Add half the flour mixture to the egg batter, mix to combine. Pour in 1 cup Greek yogurt, re-mix. Repeat with remaining flour and yogurt.
Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups blueberries into the batter using a spatula, handling them delicately to prevent juice release.
For the crumb topping, in a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 5 tablespoons cubed butter and rub into the dry ingredients with fingertips until a coarse grainy texture forms.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the surface.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
Use room-temperature butter for even mixing.
Substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.
Greek yogurt can be replaced with plain yogurt or sour cream.
Handle blueberries gently to avoid releasing excess juice.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
