  • 2 cups all-purpose flour approximately 9 ounces
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine softened (NOT melted)

  • ¼ cup walnuts finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine

Drizzle (optional)

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray or grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut butter into small pieces.
  • Add egg, milk, butter and lemon peel; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Fold in the blueberries. Spread into the greased baking pan.
  • For topping, combine sugar, flour, walnuts and cinnamon. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done.
  • For drizzle, combine powdered sugar and milk until drizzling consistency is reached. Drizzle over cake and let sit until sugar solidifies.

Notes

This cake has a very thick batter. Ensure proper flour measuring using the 'scoop and sweep' method. Can double the recipe for a 13x9 pan with adjusted baking time. Almond or oat milk can be used as a substitute for regular milk.
