# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 23x23 cm square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend softened butter and white sugar with a hand mixer for 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
03 -
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the creamed butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
04 -
Sift all-purpose flour and baking powder over the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until no visible flour remains; avoid over-mixing.
05 -
Gently fold 150 g blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution. Spread batter into prepared baking dish and reserve.
06 -
In a separate bowl, use the hand mixer to blend softened cream cheese and white sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined.
07 -
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Top with 75 g blueberries.
08 -
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until coarse, damp crumbles form.
09 -
Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the cream cheese layer. Bake on the oven’s center rack for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (some moist crumbs from cream cheese filling are acceptable, but should not be wet).
10 -
Allow cake to cool completely. For glaze, stir powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best texture, avoid over-mixing the batter after adding flour.
02 -
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
03 -
The cake will continue to set as it cools; a slightly underbaked center is preferable to preserve moisture.
