Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining with parchment paper and spraying the sides with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Optional: add lemon zest.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the crumb mixture, stirring gently until it holds together. Reserve one-third for topping, press the rest into the springform pan.
- In another bowl, beat together the mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the caster sugar, vanilla extract, and corn starch without lumps. Add eggs carefully.
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into the crust layer, spread evenly and add half the blueberries. Top with the rest of the mixture, remaining blueberries, and reserved crumbs.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out slightly clean. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Whisk powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.

Notes
Chilling the cake overnight improves flavors and makes slicing easier. Best served with a fresh fruit garnish if desired.
