Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Blueberries:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen if fresh isn’t available

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the egg and beat until fully combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix everything together until just combined. The batter should be thick and smooth.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter, spreading it evenly.
  • Add the rest of the cake batter on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it out to cover the filling.
  • Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly over the top of the cake batter.
  • In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon together. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms crumbly bits.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake and blueberries.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
