- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp lemon zest from about 2 lemons
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¾ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries toss with 1 tbsp flour

- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream butter, sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl until fluffy, 2–3 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and sour cream until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in flour-tossed blueberries.
- Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top.
- For the streusel, mix flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
