Ingredients

For The Blueberry Filling

Notes

Tips

If you use frozen blueberries, thaw them completely and soak up as much of the excess moisture as possible to limit how watery they make the cake.
Mix your topping ingredients until fully combined. Unlike other baked goods, you want to mix this until there are little to no lumps.
Be sure you use fresh baking powder, or your topping could come out dense and flat.
I recommend only using whole milk for its fat content. Other milk varieties, like reduced-fat or skim milk, will result in an anemic topping.
