Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
-
Grease a 9-inch springform pan with a little butter.
-
In a mixing bowl, cut 4 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour and 1 cup of sugar using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Remove 3/4 cup of this flour mixture and set it aside for the topping.
-
To the remaining mixture in the bowl, add the eggs, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
-
Beat the batter thoroughly until it is smooth and no longer grainy.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
-
Spread the batter up around the sides of the pan, completely lining the bottom and sides to form a hollow bowl shape in the center.
-
Place the fresh blueberries into the hollow center of the batter.
-
In a small bowl, combine the reserved 3/4 cup flour mixture, the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and the cinnamon. Work with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
-
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberries.
-
Bake at 450ðF (230ðC) for 5 minutes.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 350ðF (175ðC) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform ring.
