Ingredients

For the streusel

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter cubed

For the cake

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup butttermilk
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch skillet or baking pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the topping. Work in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture has a crumb-like appearance. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time, alternating with the buttermilk (starting and ending with the flour mixture).
  • Fold in the blueberries, then pour the mixture into to prepared pan. Sprinkle on the streusel in an even layer.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
