Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten free flour blend
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt 8 ounces
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest the zest of 1 orange

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten free flour substitute
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons salted or unsalted butter

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine all crumb topping ingredients, except butter; mix well. Use your fingers to rub in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Alternately, use a food processor to quickly cut the butter into the flour mixture. Keep in fridge to stay cool until ready to use.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 10 inch springform pan or 9"x13" baking dish; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in blueberries.
  • In a separate medium bowl, beat eggs. Stir in orange juice, melted butter, yogurt and orange peel. 
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened and no flour streaks remain. Spoon batter into greased spring form pan (or 9"x13" baking dish); sprinkle with all the crumb topping. 
  • Bake on center rack at 375°F for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan; remove sides of pan (if using springform). Serve warm or cooled.

Notes

I use this as a lighter dessert option for company, and then eat leftovers for breakfast the next morning!
