Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crumble:
¾ cup (95 g) whole wheat flour
½ cup (packed; 100 g) light brown sugar
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. white miso
Cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly, plus more for pan
1¾ cups whole wheat flour (219 g), plus more for pan
1½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. baking soda
2 large eggs
1 cup (packed; 200 g) light brown sugar
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pint blueberries
Special Equipment: A 9"-diameter cake pan

Steps:

  • Crumble:
  • Mix whole wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, and miso in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.
  • Cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter pan, then lightly dust with whole wheat flour, tapping out excess. Whisk baking powder, salt, baking soda, and 1¾ cups flour in a large bowl to combine. Whisk eggs, brown sugar, and yogurt in a medium bowl to combine. Add vanilla and 1 cup melted butter; whisk just to incorporate. Using a rubber spatula, mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix, then gently fold in blueberries. Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly. Top with reserved crumble.
  • Bake cake, checking after 30 minutes and tenting with foil if crumble is getting very dark (some color is fine), until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes total. Let cake cool in pan at least 2 hours (so it firms up and is easier to slice).
  • Do Ahead: Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I often make it the day before I need it and it's just as good, if not better, the next day.

I'm not a big fan of miso, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this cake. The miso flavor is subtle and it really complements the sweetness of the blueberries.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover blueberries. I had a bunch of blueberries that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this cake. It was a great way to use them up and I didn't have to waste them.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to my slice of cake and it was heavenly! The ice cream helped to balance out the sweetness of the cake.

I substituted almond flour for all-purpose flour and it turned out great! This cake is a great option for people with gluten sensitivities.
