For the Cake:
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk regular or buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 2/3 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1/4 cup salted butter cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats up, grease your 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Mix them together until well combined. Pour in your milk, sour cream and vanilla extract, then stir everything until it's smooth.
Add the Bisquick to your wet ingredients a little at a time, stirring gently until it's just mixed together. Try not to overmix - it's okay if there are a few small lumps. Carefully fold in your blueberries.
Now make your streusel topping. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Bisquick, and cinnamon. Add your cold butter pieces and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until it looks like coarse crumbs.
Pour your cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle all of the streusel topping over the batter.
Put the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You'll know it's done when you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting. This gives it time to set up properly. Serve while still warm for the best taste.
