Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Cake:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour)

    For the Crumble Topping:

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

    For the Glaze:

    1. 1 cup powdered sugar
    2. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

  • Prepare the Cake Batter:
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then mix in sour cream, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract.

  • Add Dry Ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  • Add Blueberries:
    Gently fold in the blueberries (that have been tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

  • Prepare the Crumble Topping:
    In a small bowl, mix the crumble topping ingredients (flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter) until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

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

 

  • Add the Glaze:
    Let the cake cool slightly, then drizzle with lemon glaze before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a little lemon zest to the glaze.
  • The blueberries can be substituted with raspberries or blackberries for a different flavor profile.

 

  • If you want a less sweet glaze, you can adjust the powdered sugar to your preference.
