Ingredients

Cake:

  • ½ cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour a great place to sneak in a little whole wheat flour, I used 1/2 cup
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups blueberries use more if large blueberries, fresh or frozen

Topping:

  • 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons butter cubed

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F.

For the Cake:

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until blended. Add milk, vanilla extract and egg.

  2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix just until combined. The batter will be very thick.
