Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
1 cup (200g) granulated or light brown sugar for topping
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour for topping
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup (120g) cold butter for topping


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
In a bowl, combine the 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and cinnamon for the topping, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well.
Whisk together the 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until smooth.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over the top of the batter.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Ensure the butter for the topping is very cold to achieve the correct crumb texture. If the blueberries are large, you can toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to further ensure they do not sink. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
