Preparation

Step 1

TOPPING

1. In a bowl combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and walnuts.

2. Work the mixture with a fork or your fingertips until it forms crumbs; refrigerate.

CAKE

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch-square metal baking pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.

2. In a bowl toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour.

3. In another bowl, whisk the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to blend them.

4. In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. With the mixer set on its lowest speed, blend in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with flour.

5. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. With a rubber spatula fold in ½ cup of the blueberries. Transfer the batter to the pan and smooth the top. Top with remaining blueberries. Sprinkle with the topping.

6. Bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is brown. Adapted from Lynne Wilson
