Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9-inch square pan. For the crumb topping, stir together 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix in the yogurt until combined.
  3. Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture just until blended.
  4. Spread half the batter in the pan. Scatter blueberries on top, then dollop the rest of the batter over them and spread gently. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the topping is golden. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Slice into squares and dust with powdered sugar if you like. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

The cake is at its very best while still warm, but it keeps beautifully. Wrap leftovers tightly and store at room temperature for a couple of days, then refrigerate. If you used frozen blueberries, the baking time may run a few minutes longer.
