Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 teaspoon for blueberries
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make streusel topping: In a medium bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using your hands or a pastry blender until large, moist crumbs form. Chill until needed.
  • Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and allspice.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the egg and beat well.
  • Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately until just combined, starting and ending with the flour. The batter will be very stiff.
  • In a large bowl, toss the blueberries with remaining teaspoon of flour.
  • Fold blueberries into the batter; spread into prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle cake with streusel topping.
  • Bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
