Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and white sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients without overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans for the streusel topping.
  8. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, sprinkle half of the streusel mixture, add the remaining batter, and finish with the rest of the streusel. Swirl gently with a knife.
Baking
  1. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until golden around the edges and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and dust with confectioners sugar.

Notes

If short on time, prep the batter the night before and refrigerate. Toss blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter to prevent sinking. A splash of lemon zest adds a bright zing.
