Alaska Blueberry Coffee Cake

Ingredients:
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
2 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup milk
1 egg
1 ½ cup blueberries (I use fresh, but imagine frozen would work)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
½ tsp cinnamon (or more to taste)
¼ cup firm butter (1/2 stick)

Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, blend together 1 ½ cups flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, oil, milk, egg and 1 cup of blueberries. Beat thoroughly for 30 seconds and spread in a greased round 9x1-1/2-inch pan or an 8x8x2-inch pan. Combine 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Sprinkle over batter and top with the remaining berries. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until done. Don't overbake. Serve warm with butter or honey.

Note: This takes a bit longer to bake than what is in the instructions, but it is worth the wait! (Serves 8.)
