  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1 large egg 🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  1. Mix the batter:
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  1. Combine dry ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  1. Pour into pan:
  • Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking pan.

2. Make the Streusel Topping:

  1. Prepare the topping:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  1. Add the streusel:
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.

3. Bake:

  1. Bake the buckle:
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  1. Cool and serve:
  • Allow the blueberry buckle to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before serving.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Frozen berries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • Add a twist: Mix in a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a zesty flavor.
