Cake:

2
teaspoons baking
powder
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/2

3/4
cup sugar
1/4
cup butter,

1
large egg
1
teaspoon vanilla
extract
1/2
cup buttermilk
3
cups fresh
blueberries (or frozen, but do not thaw!)
Preheat
the oven to
375 degrees. Grease a 9″ square pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine
the first 6 ingredients, mixing together with a fork until crumbly; set aside.
In another medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and
cinnamon.
In
a large bowl,
cream together the remaining butter and sugar. Blend in the egg and vanilla
until smooth. Blend in the flour mixture and cream alternately, beginning and
ending with the flour (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour). Fold in the
blueberries. (The dough is quite stiff, so be patient as you’re folding in the
berries! Don’t mush them up!)
Spread
the batter
into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the crumble topping. Bake for 50-60
minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool, and cut into 9 large squares.
