Original Recipe found Here!
This recipe came from the King Arthur Baking site. Blueberry buckle is a classic dessert. This recipe is very good. It tastes not too sweet, and is very tasty with the coffee cake twist. I only have two critiques. First, a bit of lemon would be very nice in this cake. Either adding lemon juice in place of vanilla extract, or adding some lemon zest to both/either dough and/or crumb topping. Second, I used a 7 x 11 baking dish. I don’t know whether the directions work for a square pan, but I had to bake my cake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, where the edges were beginning to burn. Just a warning to make sure the cake is fully cooked if you use a square pan, and a bit of advice if you wish to use an elongated pan like I did. It would be best to cover with foil for 1 hour, then bake without for the last 15 minutes.

Directions
1. Heat Oven to 375 F. Lightly grease your pan with nonstick spray. In a small mixing bowl, mix first half of flour and sugar with cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Then break up first half of butter in mixture until a sandy texture is reached, this is the topping.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together remaining butter, sugar, an egg, and vanilla. In a small bowl, mix together remaining flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Begin slowly adding flour and milk to butter mixture, ending with flour. Add blueberries and stir just to combine. Pour mixture into greased pan.
