Ingredients
For the cake
- 2 cup 2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large 2 large eggs
- 1 cup 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon 1 lemon (zested)
- 2 tbsp 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen, unthawed) Do not thaw frozen blueberries.
- 2 tsp 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
For the crumb topping
- 3/4 cup 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional) Can be omitted if desired.
- 5 tbsp 5 tbsp unsalted butter (softened) Ensure butter is softened properly.
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 X 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients: flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter until it clumps together. Refrigerate while preparing the batter.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Making the Batter
- Add lemon zest and granulated sugar to a stand mixer bowl. Rub zest with fingers to release oils.
- Cream the lemon sugar and softened butter together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined. Scrape down the bowl.
- On low speed, add half of the flour mixture and mix. Add sour cream and lemon juice; mix until smooth. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined; a few dry spots are okay.
- Toss blueberries with a tablespoon of flour, then fold them into the batter gently.
Baking
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan, sprinkle reserved blueberries on top, and scatter the crumb topping evenly.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan and slicing into squares.
