I set aside my bad mood and opened up my cupboard. I decided I wanted muffins. I had some fresh blueberries (from the U.S.A. since it's not the season here yet) and set out with a plan. After coming up with a recipe that I had found online awhile ago, I decided I'd just make a cake with it instead of muffins. It turned out delish and is really helping to brighten my mood!

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup fresh blueberries
Topping:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9inch square pan with parchment
To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork or rub together with your fingers.
Set aside.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries.

Remove from pan and let cool until you can no longer stand the aroma and dig in!!
