Instructions
For the crumble:
- Take the almonds, oats and flour in a food processor and process it until the oats and almonds are broken down into uniform small pieces.

For the cake:

- Add one egg at a time and whisk it until it is evenly mixed.
- Now add the vanilla extract and half of the flour in and give it another whisk.
- Add the milk into the bowl and shift in the remaining flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl.
- Take a spatula and mix everything gently until all the dry flour in incorporated into the dough.--see next step for tip about blueberries!
- Add all the blueberries and give it another mix. Tip: if you have trouble with blueberries sinking in your cake, give them a quick shake into the dry mixture to coat.
- Pour the batter into a greased and lined cake pan.
- Now take the crumble and evenly dust it all over the top of the batter.
- Tap the pan gently on the table/counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
