Ingredients:

• Butter: Provides richness and flavor to the cake batter, contributing to its moist and tender texture.
• Sugar: Sweetens the cake and helps to create a light and fluffy texture when creamed with the butter.
• Eggs: Add structure and help to bind the ingredients together, resulting in a cohesive cake batter.
• All-purpose flour: Forms the base of the cake batter, providing structure and stability.
• Baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cake to rise and become light and airy.
• Salt: Enhances the flavor of the cake and balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
• Milk: Adds moisture to the cake batter, resulting in a soft and tender crumb.
• Blueberries: Provide bursts of juicy sweetness and vibrant color throughout the cake.
• Cream cheese: Adds richness and a tangy flavor to the cake, creating a delightful contrast to the sweet blueberries.

Crumb Topping:

• Flour: Combined with brown sugar and cold butter to create a crumbly and buttery topping for the cake.
• Brown sugar: Adds sweetness and caramel-like flavor to the crumb topping.
• Butter: Cut into small pieces and incorporated into the flour and sugar mixture to create a crumbly texture.

Tips:

1. Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before using them in the recipe to ensure smooth and even mixing.
2. Alternate flour and milk: When adding the flour mixture and milk to the creamed butter and sugar, alternate between the two, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. This helps to ensure that the batter is well mixed and avoids overmixing.
3. Toss blueberries in flour: Coating the blueberries in flour helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
4. Watch the baking time: Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time and test for doneness using a toothpick inserted into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
5. Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This helps to prevent the cake from crumbling and allows the flavors to develop further.
