  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

For the Cake:

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups blueberries

For the Streusel Topping:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan.

  2. Cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy.

  3. Beat in eggs, then add sour cream and vanilla; mix well.

  4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet batter.

  6. Gently fold in blueberries (tossed in a little flour to prevent sinking).

  7. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.

  8. Mix streusel ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over batter.

  9. Bake 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  10. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make it Nutty: Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the streusel.

  • Citrus Twist: Add lemon zest to the batter for brightness.

  • Berry Swap: Use raspberries or blackberries for a fun variation.

  • Optional Glaze: Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.
