------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------
1 1/2 c Flour (unbleached),
-sifted
1 c Sugar, granulated
2 t Baking powder
1/2 t Baking soda
1/4 t Salt
2 Eggs
1 c Sour cream
1/2 t Vanilla
1/4 c Blueberries, fresh,

Vegetable oil
----------------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
5 T Sugar, granulated
2 T Butter
1/2 t Cinnamon, ground
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, resift sift flour
with baking power, baking soda, salt and about 1 cup of sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Add egg
mixture to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
Oil a 9-inch square baking pan (you can also use an 8 inch square pan, or
anything of similar surface area, if you increase the baking time by about
5 minutes).
Spread the batter in the pan. If you are using fruit or nuts, scatter them
over the batter and stir a little bit so that they stay in the top layer.
In a small bowl, mix about 5 T sugar with the butter and cinnamon with a
sturdy fork, until they are blended and resemble cornmeal (i.e., you should
have a mixture of fine crumbs, not a smooth mixture). Sprinkle topping over
batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a clean toothpick inserted in the
center of the cake comes out dry. Cool slightly; serve warm or at room
temperature. Don't ruin it by serving it with salted butter.
