First to make Streusel...
Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a
bowl. Stir in the melted butter and then the flour. Mix well and set
aside.
For the cake:
Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted
with the paddle attachment on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until
light. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs 1 at a time, then add
the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift
together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer
on low speed, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Toss 1/2 blueberries with 1 TBS flour and fold these blueberriesi into batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out. Add remaining blueberries to the top of the cake batter in an even layer. With your fingers,
crumble the topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40 to 50
minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. (mine took closer to 60-70 min to get the center to cook completely) . Cool completely and serve
sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
Enjoy!
