Description
This moist and flavorful blueberry crumb cake is a family favorite layered with a fragrant cinnamon-sugar topping. Perfect for breakfast, coffee pairings, or a sweet treat any time of day.
Ingredients
½ cup (120g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar (for cake)
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour (for cake)
½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup (120 ml) whole milk or 2% milk
2 cups (300g) blueberries, fresh or thawed and drained
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and milk; mix until well incorporated.
Stir the flour-milk mixture into the butter-sugar mixture until just combined.
Fold in the blueberries gently.
To make the crumb topping, combine ½ cup flour, 1 cup sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the surface.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan slightly before slicing into 9 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a coarser topping, you can use raw sugar instead of granulated sugar.
If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them thoroughly before folding into the batter.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
Pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a warm cup of coffee.
