Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

for the streusel toppinig:

1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter cold, and cut into small pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 9x9 (or 8x8) pan with parchment paper, leaving a one inch overhang.
In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder and salt together.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together for 1 minute, then add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla and mix for an additional minute. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, then use a rubber spatula to stir together just until the flour disappears, being careful not to over-mix.
Last, fold in the blueberries, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. NOTE: the batter will be thick and a little sticky; it helps to spray the rubber spatula with a little nonstick spray to spread the batter evenly into the pan.
Make the streusel topping: stir the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl. Then, add in the butter and toss together, using your hands to combine everything until the mixture resembles crumbs (this will take 1-2 minutes).
Sprinkle the topping over the batter, using your hands to gently press it into the batter. Bake the cake for 42-48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before removing and slicing. Enjoy!
