Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

For the streusel topping:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine streusel ingredients and mix with fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in blueberries.
  8. Spread batter into prepared pan and sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
  • Include chopped nuts in the streusel for extra crunch.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter texture.
  • Swap blueberries with raspberries or mixed berries.
  • Toss frozen blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
