Serving Size 1

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of butter - softened
  • 3/4 cup of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries more if you want to serve the cake with a few blueberries on the side washed and drained on paper towels

CRUMBLE TOPPING:

  • 1 cup of butter - melted
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of flour
  • 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon

SWEET GLAZE:

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons of milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter, milk, egg, and sugar, and blend with the whisk attachment until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the flour, baking powder and salt, until well mixed. Add to the mixer, and blend until smooth and creamy. Remove the mixing bowl from the mixer. Sprinkle a little flour over the blueberries, and toss to coat (this keeps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake while baking).
  • Line a 9 X 9 inch dish with parchment paper, and pour the cake batter into the dish. Mix the Crumble Topping - melted butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl, and sprinkle on top of the cake batter.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When the cake is done baking, remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool.
  • When cake has completely cooled, make the glaze; in a medium size bowl add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, and blend until smooth and creamy. Generously drizzle glaze over the cake, while cake is still in the dish, using all the glaze.
  • When ready to serve, cut the cake in 2 X 3 inch squares, sprinkle a few blueberries on the side, and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use room-temperature milk and eggs in this recipe for the best results. 
  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before drizzling the glaze on top.
  • Each oven is different, so adjust the cooking time as needed and check our cake for doneness earlier in the cooking time.
