- ½ cup vegetable oil 90g
- 2 large eggs 100g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups flour 280g

Lemon Glaze
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and line a 9x9 square metal baking dish with parchment paper.
- Crumb Topping: Combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Use your hands to scrunch up the crumbs so that you get crumbs of various sizes.
- Cake: In a large bowl, combine the whole milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Add the sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour, and combine. Add the blueberries and use a spoon to gently combine.
- Assemble: Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it to cover the dish evenly. Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Look for the cake to have a domed top and be set in the middle. Remove and allow to cool.
- Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Drizzle the cake with the lemon glaze. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Whole Milk: Whole milk is best, but 1 or 2% can be used in a pinch.
- Lemon: The zest of the lemon adds bright lemon flavor without any of the sourness of the juice. Be sure to zest only the bright yellow outer part of the lemon.
- Blueberries: The amount of blueberries and the size of the blueberries will impact the baking time because it will affect the total water content of the cake.
- Baking Time:
- 9x9 Metal Baking Dish: 35 minutes
- 8x8 Metal Baking Dish: 40-45 minutes
