Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk

1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by mixing 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Chill until ready to use.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

4. In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).

5. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

6. Add the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with 1/4 cup milk. Stir gently and don’t overmix.

7. Fold in 1 1/2 cups blueberries. If using frozen, toss in a little flour to prevent sinking.

8. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the top.

9. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to use cold butter for the crumb topping to maintain the right texture.

Tossing blueberries in a bit of flour helps prevent them from sinking during baking.

For a tangier flavor, use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt—both work great.
