Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the Crumb Topping (Optional but recommended):

  • ½ cup flour

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking dish.

  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

  • Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.

2. Add the Blueberries

  • Gently fold in fresh blueberries with a spatula to avoid breaking them.

3. Make the Crumb Topping (Optional but delicious)

  • Mix flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl until crumbly.

4. Assemble the Cake

  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  • Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the batter.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Allow to cool before slicing.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee or tea.

  • Add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

  • Serve chilled for a firmer, cheesecake-like texture.

Tips for Success

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture (frozen works but may add extra moisture).

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake soft and fluffy.

  • For a lemony twist, add 1 tsp of lemon zest to the batter
