By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, divided, plus more for greasing
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 tbsp. light brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. table salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries and/or raspberries)
• Whipped cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1. Position a rack in the center of oven, and preheat oven to 400°. Lightly grease an 11×8½-inch baking dish with butter.

2. Place ¼ cup flour in a small bowl; stir in brown sugar and cinnamon, making sure the brown sugar is well-crumbled. Add 2 tablespoons butter, and work the mixture with your knuckles and fingertips until it is uniform. Set streusel aside.

3. Place remaining 1½ cups flour in a large bowl; stir in granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla and remaining ¼ cup butter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high, and beat 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Spread in prepared baking dish. Arrange berries in a single layer on batter. Crumble streusel evenly on top.

4. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack for about 20 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.

Food Hack! Bring cold butter to room temperature fast: Heat a glass of water in the microwave, drain the liquid, and cover butter with the warm glass, about 2 minutes.
