Ingredients

  • 1 large egg(s)
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 3/4 cup(s) sugar
  • 1/2 cup(s) reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/3 cup(s) buttermilk, low-fat
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) blueberries
  • 1/4 cup(s) dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp orange zest, grated
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Preparation

Step 1

* Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 7 x 11-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

* Combine the egg, oil, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Whisk until pale yellow, then whisk in the sour cream and buttermilk. In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, and five-spice powder. Mix in the egg mixture. Pour the batter into the baking dish, then scatter the blueberries on top.

* Combine the brown sugar, orange zest, butter, and the remaining 1/3 cup flour. Mix with the back of a fork until crumbly, then sprinkle over the batter. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly, then cut into 12 pieces.

Notes

* Five-spice powder, which lends this confection a distinct sweet-savory flavor, is a blend of cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel, and black pepper. If five-spice powder isn’t handy on your spice rack, use an equal amount of ground cinnamon instead.
