Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the sour cream and milk, beating until the batter is smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Baking Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Add Topping:
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the batter. This will create a delightful crunchy topping.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with your favorite morning beverage.
