Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9-inch baking pan.

  7. Spread cream cheese mixture over batter.
  8. Add remaining batter on top in spoonfuls and spread gently.
  9. Mix flour and brown sugar for topping, then cut in cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over cake.
  10. Bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor.
  • Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
  • Let cake cool before slicing for clean layers.
  • Store in refrigerator due to cream cheese layer.
