Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/2 cup Blueberry Jam

Crumble Topping

  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons Blueberry Jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan to prepare it for baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, cream together 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 eggs until light and fluffy, which ensures a smooth batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to combine and aerate the dry components.
  4. Combine Batter: Add half of the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture and stir gently. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk and mix for about 30 seconds. Then add the remaining flour mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated but not overmixed to keep the cake tender.
  5. Add Blueberries and Jam: Gently fold 1 cup fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup blueberry jam into the batter, creating a marbled effect without overmixing. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan evenly.
  6. Prepare Crumble: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Rub with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  7. Top Cake: Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the batter. Scatter 1/3 cup fresh blueberries on top and dot with 2 tablespoons blueberry jam for added flavor bursts.
  8. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean indicating it is fully baked.
  9. Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it a delightful treat anytime.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen can be used but may alter the moisture slightly.
  • Ensure the buttermilk is at room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • The crumble topping adds delightful texture and cinnamon flavor, but you can adjust the sugar to your preference.
  • Check the cake at 45 minutes to prevent overbaking, as ovens vary.
