A delightful treat combining the tanginess of lemon with the sweetness of blueberries and a buttery crumble topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • For the crumble topping:
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the crumble topping ingredients (flour, sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon) until the butter is broken down into small pieces and the mixture is crumbly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, then sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • This cake can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature.
  • Skip the cinnamon in the crumble topping if preferred or use an alternative spice like nutmeg or cardamom.
  • For extra indulgence, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
