Equipment

  • 8 inch springform pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
 
 

  • 11 tbsp butter unsalted at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cups blueberries

Streusel topping:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and line an 8 inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, combine sugar and butter. Add the eggs, stirring to combine. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixture, beating to combine.
  • Scrape the batter into the bottom of the pan. Smooth the top of the batter.
  • In a small bowl combine the streusel ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour and sugar until coarse crumbs begin to form.
  • Place the blueberries on top of the batter, then top with streusel. Place cake in the oven, on the middle rack.
  • Bake 45 minutes until the top is golden brown, the filling bubbles around the edges, and the center of the cake is set.
  • This sweet cake is perfect for a weekend brunch. Any leftovers will keep, wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container for several days, allowing you to enjoy the fruits of your hard labor on a weekday morning, too.
  • Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan, and remove the cake from the pan.
