Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or spray the pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
- Make the streusel: Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter and then the flour. Mix well and set aside for later.
- Make the cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract, fresh lemon zest, and sour cream. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries with a spatula, making sure the batter is completely mixed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out with a knife or an offset spatula.. With your fingers, crumble the streusel topping evenly over the batter. You can also squeeze it together to make large clumps.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester or a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then dust generously with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
