How to Make Incredible Blueberry Tea Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh blueberries.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
  6. For the topping: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans (optional), and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
