Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups Maine blueberries
For the Streusel Topping:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Making the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Let stand for 5 minutes, then use as directed in the recipe. For a healthier version, you can use whole wheat flour in place of the all-purpose flour and reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
