I make this yummy cake all the time! I usually buy tons of blueberries when they are on sale, wash them, freeze them, then I can make the cake all winter long (I just toss the frozen blueberries right in).

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

BATTER
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour

To make the topping, crumble the sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter with a fork in a small bowl. Set aside.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a separate bowl. Gradually stir it into the butter and sugar mixture. Wash and stem the blueberries. Fold into batter, then spread the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.

Bake the blueberry buckle for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry. Let cool, then cut into 8 squares. Makes 8 servings.
