🫐 Ingredients

🍰 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
4. Combine: Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, blending just until combined.
5. Fold in blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
6. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Make streusel: In a small bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cubed butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate summer indulgence. One bite, and you’ll understand why this buckle is more than a dessert—it’s a tradition in the making.
