Blueberry cake (base)

• Butter: 1 stick, softened
• White sugar: 1/4 cup (for the cake batter)
• Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
• Lemon zest: to flavor
• Vegetable oil: 1/4 cup (helps keep the cake softer/moister)
• Eggs: 2 (added gradually)
• All-purpose flour (dry): 2 cups
• Baking powder: 1 tsp
• Baking soda: 1/2 tsp (subtitles indicate “half a teaspoon”; included as baking soda)
• Salt: 1/4 tsp
• Milk: 1/3 cup
• Lemon juice: 2 tbsp (mixed into the milk)

Blueberries

• Blueberries: quantity not specified
• Flour for blueberries: 1 tbsp (to help prevent sinking)

Crumble layer (top)

• Butter: 75 g, room temperature
• Sugar: 1/4 cup (brown or white)
• All-purpose flour: 1 cup
• Texture cue: rub with fingertips until it resembles “wet sand”

Sugar glaze (decoration)

• Powdered sugar: amount not specified
• Lemon juice: a squeeze

Equipment / Prep

• Springform pan (recommended)
• Oven: preheat to 180°C
• Cooling: cool completely before glazing
• Mixing tools: bowl(s) + beat/hand mixer (or beat until light/creamy)

Step-by-step Method (technique + temperature + timing)

1) Make crumble topping

1. Combine 75 g room-temp butter + 1/4 cup brown or white sugar.
2. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour.
3. Rub with fingertips until the texture resembles wet sand.
4. Set aside.

2) Make cake batter

1. In a bowl, mix:
   • 1 stick softened butter
   • 1/4 cup white sugar
   • 1 tsp vanilla extract
   • lemon zest
2. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
3. Beat until light-colored.
4. Add 2 eggs gradually, beating continuously until creamy.

3) Add dry + liquid ingredients

1. Dry ingredients:
   • 2 cups flour
   • 1 tsp baking powder
   • 1/2 tsp baking soda
   • 1/4 tsp salt
2. Liquid ingredients:
   • 1/3 cup milk
   • 2 tbsp lemon juice (milk + lemon juice for a moist texture)
3. Alternate adding dry and liquid ingredients into the egg/butter mixture gradually.
   • Technique cue: alternate additions to retain air.
4. Batter should be thick.

4) Prepare blueberries

• Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour so they don’t sink.

5) Assemble in springform pan (two options)

Use a springform pan.

1. Layered method (as shown): alternate cake layers and blueberry layers in the pan.
2. Mixed method: mix half the blueberries into the full cake batter, then pour into the pan.

In both cases:

• The top layer is a blueberry layer.
• Spread the crumble layer on top last.

6) Bake

• Bake at 180°C
• Bake time: about 1 hour and a few minutes

7) Cool + glaze

1. Let the cake cool completely.
2. Glaze with powdered sugar + a squeeze of lemon.

Tips / Notes / Common Pitfalls

• Prevent sinking: coat blueberries with 1 tbsp flour.
• Baking soda reason: essential because the recipe includes an acidic ingredient (lemon).
• Texture goals:
  • Crumble should look like wet sand
  • Batter should be thick
  • Mix gradually to keep air incorporated

Serving / Plating Suggestions

Serve as a moist blueberry & lemon crumble cake topped with the lemon sugar glaze after fully cooling.
