How To Make blueberry crumbcake squares

  • Step 1
    PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350.
  • Step 2
    Butter a 12-by-18-inch jelly roll pan and line the bottom with a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter and sugar until soft and light; add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
  • Step 4
    Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the batter in three additions, alternating with the yolks and milk, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Step 5
    Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, then scatter the blueberries evenly over the batter, pressing them in gently.
  • Step 6
    FOR THE CRUMBS: Mix the four, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl.
  • Step 7
    Melt the butter and stir it in evenly; rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand, then scatter the crumbs over the berries as evenly as possible.
  • Step 8
    Bake the cake about 40 minutes until batter is firm and crumbs are well-colored; cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • Step 9
    Cut the cooled cake into 24 3-inch squares. Remove the squares from the pan to a platter.
  • Step 10
    VARIATIONS: Substitute 4 cups pitted sour cherries for the blueberries.
