Blueberry Bread

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center. Grease an 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment and lightly grease the parchment and any exposed sides.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom.

Step 3: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater, mix the sugar, butter, oil, and extracts on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes, pausing to scrape the bowl once or twice. Alternatively, work by hand in a large bowl: Using a flexible spatula, smash the softened butter into the sugar and oil, then use a whisk to mix vigorously until a pale, creamy paste forms. The mixture will seem thick and stiff at first but will loosen and lighten as you mix.

Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium between each addition until the egg is fully combined, about 30 seconds. If working by hand, whisk in the eggs one at a time.

Step 5: Add the flour mixture and stir on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. If working by hand, incorporate the flour mixture with a flexible spatula. Scrape down the bowl and stir once more to ensure the batter is well mixed.

Step 6: Coarsely chop the blueberries, then add almost all of them to the bowl, holding back 1 or 2 tablespoons. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 7: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Scatter the remaining blueberries over the top.

Step 8: In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 9: Bake the blueberry bread for 55 to 65 minutes, tenting with foil as necessary, until a toothpick or paring knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the internal temperature registers at least 200°F on a digital thermometer.

Step 10: Let the blueberry bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it out of the pan and onto a rack. Slice and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Step 11: Store the blueberry bread, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days.
