Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 and prepare an 8x8-inch pan with grease and parchment. Set to the side.

  5. With a rubber spatula, fold in the blueberries.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and top the cake with the crumb topping, distributing evenly over the top.
  7. Bake the cake for 44-55 minutes until a toothpick runs clean.
  8. Let the cake fully cool on a cooling rack to come to room temperature.
