Ingredients
Instructions
For the Streusel Topping:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and melted butter
- Using a fork, incorporate the butter into the dry mixture until a crumbly texture forms. (The mixture should clump together when squeezed, but crumble easily).
- Set aside.
For the Blueberries:
- In a small bowl add your blueberries, lemon juice and flour then mix together. (flour helps to prevent your fruit from sinking).
- Set aside.
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Butter and flour in a 9-inch square or circle baking pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, oil and sugar until a smooth paste.
- Add your eggs, lemon extract, vanilla essence and milk and mix together, your mixture will be very liquidy but don't worry this will ensure a fluffy cake!
- Sift in your flour, salt and baking powder then whisk with the wet mixture until combined.
- In your prepared baking pan add your cake mixture and top with your streusel and blueberries.
- Bake your cake your 60-65 minutes or until a skewer come out clean, make sure not to open your oven for the first 40 minutes or your cake might deflate!
- Enjoy :)
