Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup half and half (or milk)
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Set your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, beat the oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
- Combine Batter: Add the dry ingredients and half and half alternately to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently stir in the blueberries with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer to Pan: Spread the thick batter evenly into your prepared baking dish.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Top the Cake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding.
Add lemon zest to the batter for a bright flavor twist.
Cake keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Use whole milk if half and half isn’t available.
