½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Crumb Topping:
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Combine & Fold in Blueberries: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour & Prepare Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. In a small bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients until crumbly.
- Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
Toss blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.
Use frozen blueberries without thawing to avoid excess moisture.
Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a lighter option.
For a nutty crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping.
