Blueberry Buckle~ remember that?

I was going through my file of recipes to find my thirty year old (at least)  recipe for blueberry buckle. I am still sorting, but as I surf the net I find that most of the recipes are much the same, so I am printing this one along with the picture that was with it.  I remember, however, when I made it I made it in a very large iron skillet; it was the right utensil for this rustic berry dish. As soon as my butter softens and the other ingredients come to room temperature, I'm turning this out once again for old times sake.

Blueberry Buckle Recipe

• Prep time: 5 minutes
• Cook time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

 

Ingredients

Cake ingredients:

• 2 cups and 1-2 Tbsp of sifted, all purpose flour separated
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 pint blueberries

Topping ingredients:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch spring form pan. Set aside.
2 Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the berries with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly throughout the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.
3 Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter.
4 Bake for one hour, then test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 minutes to bake.
5 When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges and lift the cake out of the pan. Serve with whipped cream.

                                      

I got the recipe and pictures from Simply Recipes but he says he thinks the original that he has came from Lee Bailey .

Okay, my recipe came from Favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers printed in 1963.  I bet I tried 30 recipes in this well worn cookbook and marked them accordingly.  Most of them have the same face as this coffee cake recipe--a happy face indeed.
