Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Crumb topping:
- ¾cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ¼cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- ½teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- Cake batter:
- 11⁄3cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ¾teaspoon baking soda
- ¼teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄3cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces and room temperature
- ½cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1⁄3cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Preparation
- 1. Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
- 2. Prepare crumb topping. Put the dry ingredients of the crumb topping into a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the vanilla and melted butter and stir with a fork or use your fingers to bring together into large clumps. Reserve.
- 3. Prepare cake batter. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Reserve. Put the butter and sugar in a medium bowl and mix with a Cuisinart® Hand Mixer fitted with the mixing beaters until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fully combined. Add 1⁄3 of the dry ingredients, and stir until almost incorporated. Follow with ½ of the buttermilk, and then alternate in that pattern, ending with the dry ingredients, until mixture is just combined.
- 4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Make a layer of the blueberries on top of the batter, slightly pressing them down so that they are still showing. Cover evenly with the reserved crumb topping.
- 5. Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake with Convection at 350°F for 25 minutes. Once preheated, place the pan on the rack and bake for the allotted time or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
