• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

For the cake:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (3/4 stick)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling

 ? How To Make Ina Garten Blueberry Crumb Cake

1. Set oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a 9-inch circular baking pan with butter and flour.

For the streusel:

1. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and nutmeg. Toss in the flour and melted butter. Thoroughly combine and reserve.

For the cake:

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
2. Slowly add the eggs one by one, followed by the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
3. Combine the flour mixture with the batter, mixing on low speed, until barely incorporated. Toss in the blueberries and use a spatula to thoroughly combine the batter.
4. Pour the batter onto the prepared pan and use a knife to even it out. Toss the batter into the bowl and use your fingers to crumble the topping on top.
5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted near the center comes out clear. Let cool entirely before serving with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.

? Recipe Tips

• Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better incorporation.
• Gently fold in blueberries to avoid breaking them and evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb texture.
• Let the cake cool completely before serving to set the crumb topping.
