  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 by 8 inch baking pan. (I use this spray.)
  2. In a mixer or large bowl combine 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and cream together on medium speed until uniform.
  3. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Add half the dry mixture into the wet and stir well.
  5. Add the milk and then add the remaining flour mixture.
  6. Mix until just combined, do not overmix.
  7. Fold in blueberries and pour batter in prepared pan.
  8. For the topping combine butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix together thoroughly using hands or a pastry cutter.
  9. Sprinkle crumble topping over the cake batter to cover.
