Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups frozen blueberries
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Step 2

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.

Step 4

Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.

Step 5

Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.
