Blueberry cake is a delightful treat that showcases the sweet and juicy flavors of fresh blueberries. Here's a simple recipe for a classic blueberry cake:

Ingredients:​

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking)

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:​

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Prepare the Streusel Topping:
   • In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cold butter pieces, and ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Blueberries:
   • Toss the fresh blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
4. Make the Cake Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
   • Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries.
5. Assemble and Bake:
   • Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the blueberry cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, slice and serve. You can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
