Cake:
- 1 cup butter (unsalted), melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 egg(s) large
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar for garnish
Directions
Prepare the oven and pan:
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease an 8x8-inch square pan and set it aside. Lay a piece of aluminum foil or a baking sheet on the lower rack in case the streusel or blueberry compote bubbles over (optional).
Make blueberry topping:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, boil for 10 minutes, or until you are left with about 1 cup of blueberry compote. Remove from heat.
Make streusel:
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and mix well. (Mixture will resemble wet sand.) Set it aside.
Make cake:
- Place the melted butter in a large bowl, and whisk in the sugar.
- Add the egg, and beat for one minute.
- Whisk in the sour cream and vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until well combined (batter will be thick).
Assemble and bake the cake:
- Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan.
- Pour the blueberry compote on top.
- Crumble the streusel over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Loosely tent with aluminum foil. Continue baking until the center bounces back when gently pressed, about 10 minutes more. Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Sprinkle top with powdered sugar to serve.
