Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. For the streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until crumbly and resembling coarse meal. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  3. 3
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  4. 4
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  5. 5
    Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The streusel should be golden brown and the cake set.
  6. 6
    Let the buckle cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter, and consider tossing them with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

How do I store leftover Blueberry Buckle?

Store leftover buckle tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual slices briefly in the microwave for best enjoyment.

Can I add other spices to the streusel?

Absolutely! A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom would be delicious additions to the streusel topping, complementing the blueberries beautifully.
