Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup half and half (or milk—half & half will make it more moist)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- For the Crumble Topping:
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix with a fork or whisk until well combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a handheld electric mixer), beat together ¼ cup oil, 1 large egg, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and ¾ cup half and half to the sugar/oil mixture, ending with the flour mixture. The batter will be thick.
- Stir in the 2 cups blueberries by hand, just until incorporated.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the 4 tablespoons cubed butter and use a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cake batter.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a touch of lemon zest to the cake batter for a citrusy flavor boost.
- If you’re using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them, but you may need to bake the buckle a little longer.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect morning treat.
