Old Fashioned Blueberry Buckle

This old fashioned recipe Blueberry Buckle is a deliciously tender cake with fresh blueberries and topped with a sweet buttery streusel topping.

Ingredients

• For Topping:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Natural Wild Blueberry Oatmeal (SKU 576090)
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• For Cake:
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Zest of one lemon
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

1. For the Topping In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, Blueberry Oatmeal, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture has lumps the size of peas. Set aside.
2. For the Cake Preheat the oven to 350° and Spray an 8-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch round pan with nonstick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl and set aside. With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula and beat in the vanilla and lemon zest until combined.
4. On medium speed, add eggs one at a time; scraping down the bowl after each egg.
5. Add the flour mixture and stir the batter with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl until the flour is fully blended. The batter will be very heavy and thick. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Pour the streusel over the top of the cake batter.
7. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 55-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
