Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Sugar

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural) for streusel topping

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: Blend plant-based cream cheese with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy. This filling adds moisture and tang to the cake.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, cinnamon (natural), and salt in a large bowl to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), and olive or vegetable oil until well blended. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to activate the thickening reaction from the vinegar.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to keep the batter light. Carefully fold in half of the fresh blueberries to avoid breaking them.
  5. Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the batter into a greased baking pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries evenly over the surface.
  6. Add the Streusel Topping: Mix brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), flour, and oil to create a crumbly streusel topping. Sprinkle generously over the cake for a crunchy, caramelized crust once baked.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing and better texture.
  • Fresh blueberries are preferred to avoid soggy batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent a dense cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool before slicing to fully develop flavors.
  • Test doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out mostly clean with moist crumbs.
