  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the streusel topping:

  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp (½ stick / 55g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

For the cake:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13″ baking pan or 10″ springform pan.
  2. Make streusel: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a fork or fingers until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cream butter & sugar: Beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (~3 min). Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
  5. Add sour cream & flour: Alternate adding sour cream and flour mixture in 3 batches, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in blueberries gently to avoid crushing.
  7. Assemble: Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle streusel evenly over top.
  8. Bake:
    • 9×13″ pan: 35–40 minutes
    • Springform: 45–50 minutes
      Until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Toss blueberries in 1 tbsp flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
– For extra tang, add lemon zest to the batter.
– Serve warm or at room temperature—pairs beautifully with coffee or tea!
