1 1/3 c sugar
3/4 c plus 1.5 Tbsp. flour

Blueberry Buckle


Dry:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar

2 cups fresh blueberries

Wet:
1 1/2 c buttermilk
2/3 c vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 375F and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Add blueberries, tossing gently.  Make a well in the center of the mixture.  Whisk wet ingredients together in a different bowl, then add all at once to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.

Spoon batter into prepared pan and top with streusel.  Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.  Cool cake in pan on a wire rack.
