Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 200 g (1 ½ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 200 g (1 cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 180 g (¾ cups) Softened Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
  • 3 (3) Large Eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp (1 ½ tsp) Baking Powder
  • 60 ml (¼ cups) Heavy Cream

For the Blueberries

  • 350 g (2 ⅓ cups) Blueberries Fresh or Frozen
  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp (3 tbsp) All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp (3 tbsp) Granulated Sugar

For the Crumb Topping

  • 75 g (⅓ cups) Unsalted Butter
  • 150 g (1 ¼ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 110 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 30 g (2 ½ tbsp) Light Brown Soft Sugar

For the Glaze

  • 150 g (1 ¼ cups) Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃ Fan. Grease/Line an 8 inch round cake tin (I use a springform one).
  • Start by making the crumb topping. Combine all ingredients (Unsalted butter, both sugars, flour) in a small bowl and place in the fridge while you make the cake batter. It should be 'crumbly'.
    If it feels too paste-like, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time until it's still sticky but able to be crumbled.
  • In a large bowl/bowl of a stand mixer, add all the cake ingredients and combine until smooth. If very stiff, add a little more cream.
  • Pour the cake batter into the lined tin.
  • In a bowl, combine the blueberries with the lemon juice, flour and sugar. Pour these blueberries over the cake batter.
  • Finally, sprinkle the crumb topping over the cake.
  • Bake 60 minutes. Check that it is completely baked by inserting a skewer - if it comes out clean, it's ready to come out. If not, let bake for 5 minutes more at a time, testing in between. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the cake is cool, mix together the glaze and drizzle over the cake. Dust with a little more powdered sugar if you like! Slice and serve.
