Blueberry Streusel Cake

My mom and I love to bake. She made a Blueberry Streusel Cake for our breakfast this morning so I thought I'd share!

For the cake:

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups fresh blueberries

For the topping:

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 inch square baking dish.

Cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beat to combine, then mix in the milk until blended.

Pour the two cups of flour into the center of the mixture and sift the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon over the flour. Stir just enough to blend all the ingredients.

Add the blueberries and stir.

Transfer to baking dish, and set aside.

Place the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter in a separate mixing bowl and cut in with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the topping over the batter that is already in the baking pan.

Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Serve warm or cold, with or without a nice dollop of whipped cream! ENJOY!!
