Ingredients
Scale
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, plus more to grease the pan
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, or sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, about 12 oz
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 5 tbsp cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a stand mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until combined, then increase to high speed for about 3 minutes until light and creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for another minute until creamy and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with Greek yogurt, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula to avoid breaking them, then spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- For the crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add the cold butter and work it in until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to rest in the springform pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cake plate.
Notes
Ensure the butter is soft for easy creaming.
For a richer flavor, use fresh blueberries when in season.
This cake can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
