1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2. Make the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to crumble the mixture together.
3. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
7. Assemble the cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with the crumble topping.
8. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter and your favorite jam.

For a richer flavor, you can use buttermilk instead of milk.
