Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and almond extract.
- Step 4: Combine: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Step 5: Make the Crumble: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 6: Assemble: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Step 7: Bake: Bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumble topping is golden brown.
- Step 8: Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Substitution for Sour Cream: Plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream.
- Substitution for Almond Extract: Vanilla extract can be used as a substitute for almond extract. Use the same quantity.
- Make-Ahead: The crumble topping can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Store the baked cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
