2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg, and beat well. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternating with the milk & vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the blueberries by hand. Spread the batter evenly in an oiled 8-inch square cake pan. Spoon the streusel topping evenly over the batter, and bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cake cool for 15 minutes and then cut into squares and serve warm.

This is a recipe I've made for Spring PAC 2009. I wish I had a camera and computer skills to take a photo for every one to see. This recipe came out of the oven a thing of beauty. Also yummy. Great for brunch or snack. Loved it.
