Ingredients

    for the buckle:

    1.5 cup All purpose flour
    1.5 tsp Baking Powder
    10 tbsp Butter, unsalted, cubed, at room temp
    0.67 cup Granulated Sugar
    0.5 tsp Salt
    Zest from one lemon
    1.5 tsp vanilla extract
    2 large Eggs
    4 cup Blueberries, fresh, sorted over, rinsed, and patted dry

    for the streusel:

    0.5 cup All purpose flour
    0.5 cup, packed Brown Sugar
    2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
    0.25 tsp cinnamon
    0.25 tsp nutmeg

Tips

you can use frozen berries if you'd like. if so, do not thaw them. just stir them in frozen.


Directions

Directions

1. For the streusel topping, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, spices, and salt until well combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in the chunks of butter, then work butter into the dry ingredients with your hands until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside on the counter while you prepare the rest of the buckle.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan ( i used a springform pan for mine), line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease and flour the paper and sides of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder and set aside.

3. In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, salt, and lemon zest until combined and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture while the mixture is on low speed. Mix well to combine, but do not overmix. Batter will be thick. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the berries until incorporated.

4. Pour filling into the greased and floured pan, spreading evenly. Scatter streusel top over the buckle batter. Bake about 50-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
