Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and lightly flour an 8×8 baking dish.

- Add butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter until crumbly.
- Make a well in the center of the bowl and add egg, milk, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the ingredients together using a rubber spatula just until combined; the batter will be lumpy and thick.
- Fold in blueberries, being careful not to break them open.
- Spoon batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using an offset spatula.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping all over the top.
- Bake on the middle rack for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Drizzle the glaze all over the hot streusel topping and let it harden slightly before serving.
- Let the cake cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
