it's not really mine.
it's the only martha stewart recipe i have ever made.
from the only martha stewart living i ever bought.

it is the all time best 4th of July party treat.
gather your ingredients: 1 stick of butter, 2 c. flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 3/4 sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 c. milk, 5 c. blueberries.
Heat oven to 350. Butter and flour a springform pan and set aside. Combine flour, powder, salt in a bowl; set aside. Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla.
Alternate adding in flour mixture and milk in small amounts beginning and ending with flour.
Remove from mixer. Gently fold in blueberries with a a rubber spatula. Batter is thick.
Press batter into springform pan.
Cover with Streusel Topping: 1 tsp. cinnamom, 1/4 c. brown sugar, 1 c. flour, 6 T. butter room temp. Mix dry ingredients, cut in butter with a fork until fine crumbs form. Then using hands squeeze together forming large clumps. Bake for 60 - 70 minutes until tester in center comes out clean.
Let cool then unlock your pan and it's beautiful!
Cover it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Eat it warm and it's soooo good. but it's just as good for breakfast the next day! And if you have a hot cup of coffee too...oh my goodness. It is so heavenly. One good thing about this recipe at my house...my kids don't like it! More for the grown ups - woo-hoo!
i know lots of people have asked me if you can use frozen blueberries but i can't remember what we decided. If you made this with frozen blueberries leave a comment and tell us the result.
You can also make this into big muffins and they are AMAZING.
I just save this recipe for june and july when blueberries are in season. i buy the big box at sam's club.
now...get cooking!
