Spread in greased 9 inch square baking pan. (Batter will be stiff) In another bowl, prepare streusel.

Streusel:

1/2 C. sugar

1/3 C. flour

1/4 C. cold butter or margarine.

Combine sugar and flour. Cut in butter/margarine until crumbly.

Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

***Note*** For a larger cake (13X9 size pan) double all ingredients and bake for one hour.

These are blueberries that we picked ourselves last summer. They are HUGE and end up being so juicy.

Preparing the streusel. I uses a pastry cutter as it is quick at cutting the butter.
