De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: You can line the pan with parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal of the cake later.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for the cake batter until the mixture is light and fluffy.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: This step incorporates air into the batter, which helps create a tender cake.

3. 3

   Beat in the egg until it is fully incorporated.

   Ongeveer 1 min

4. 4

   Pour in the milk and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter may look slightly curdled, which is normal.

   Ongeveer 1 min

5. 5

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the batter.

   Ongeveer 1 min

6. 6

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.

7. 7

   Gently fold the blueberries into the batter with a spatula.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to prevent them from bleeding color into the batter.

8. 8

   Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

   Ongeveer 1 min

9. 9

   In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel topping.

   Ongeveer 1 min

10. 10

    Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Ongeveer 2 min

    Tip van de kok: Keeping the butter cold is key to a crisp streusel topping.

11. 11

    Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the surface of the cake batter.

    Ongeveer 1 min

12. 12

    Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.

    Ongeveer 45 min

    Tip van de kok: Check the cake around the 40-minute mark, as oven temperatures can vary.

13. 13

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
