Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (for streusel topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the cake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy the cake warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add lemon zest to the batter.
- Make sure to use fresh blueberries for the best results.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
