Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberries

  • 1 ½ to 2 cups fresh blueberries

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with sugar, flour, and optional cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until coarse crumbs form. Set aside to keep the crumbly texture for the top.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in one egg and vanilla extract and mix until creamy and well combined to create the tangy cream cheese layer.
  3. Assemble the Cake Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add in eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix just until the ingredients come together, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and tender.
  4. Layer the Cake: Pour half of the batter evenly into a prepared baking pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries generously on top of the cream cheese layer. Carefully pour the remaining batter over the blueberries to avoid mixing the layers.
  5. Add the Crumb Topping and Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake layers. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and uniform texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter as it can make the cake dense.
  • Fresh blueberries are preferred; if using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Chill the cream cheese filling if it’s too warm to keep the layers distinct during baking.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean or with few crumbs attached.
  • For a sharper slice, use a serrated knife and cut gently to maintain layering.
