Blueberry Streusel Cake


3/4 cup or less white fruit sugar (or fine sugar)
1/4 cup shortening or unsalted butter (room temp)
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract

3/4 cup milk

Blend:

1 1/2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Top with:

2 cups blueberries
2 Tbs or less white sugar
pinch of cinnamon

Streusel:

1/3 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup sugar or less

Using a mixer on medium speed, cream the sugar, shortening, egg and vanilla till light and fluffy.

Using a wooden spoon, add the milk alternately with dry ingredients. Add a bit more milk if batter seems dry.

Spread 2/3 of batter in an 8x8 pan, lined with parchment paper, or lightly greased. Sprinkle with blueberries, sugar and cinnamon
Dot remaining batter on top. Add streusel topping.

Bake at 350F about 30-40 min. Test by inserting a toothpick - it should come out dry, with no wet batter on it.

Peaches and raspberries can be used for a variation.
