Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175 ℃) and grease a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, toss 2 1/4 cups (382 g) of blueberries with 1 tbsp (8 g) of flour, and set them aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer.
Mix the flour and salt on low speed until crumb-like consistency is achieved.
Remove 3/4 cup (125 g) of the crumb mixture to a small bowl and combine with the remaining butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, creating a streusel topping.
Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk in a large measuring cup.
Add the buttermilk mixture, egg, and vanilla to the main batter, mixing until combined.
Gently fold in the larger portion of blueberries into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Top with remaining blueberries and streusel mixture.
Bake for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk until pourable, then drizzle over the cooled cake and slice into 16 pieces.

Notes

Ensure blueberries are fresh for the best flavor.
For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of lemon zest to the batter.
This coffee cake can be stored at room temperature for a few days in an airtight container.
