Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, alternating with sour cream.
- Combine Blueberries and Nuts: Gently fold in blueberries and nuts if using. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Make Streusel Topping: Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra blueberry flavor, toss the berries in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
