Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake
Ingredients:
For the Cake Batter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Fruit:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until combined.
Spread the cake batter into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cake batter and gently spread.
Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
For the crumb topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl, then cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly on top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Cool before slicing.
