This cake turned out beautifully! The sweet blueberries were so good with the brown sugar topping, and the cake was perfectly moist and fluffy. Delicious.
The crumb topping has to be the best thing ever made! Coffee cakes are our favorite and this has two more of our favorites, blueberry and crumb. Perfect texture and flavor!
I love the layers in this crumb cake, the fresh blueberries and crumb topping are so good together.
Delicious with easy to follow instructions. I loved the blueberries and can see how it would work with other seasonal berries too.
and when do you add the vanilla?
It is in step 2 , when creaming the butter , sugar and egg.
Best cake for Blueberry lovers. Love the Crumb topping and glaze too. Looks delicious and perfect try for my next occasion.

We found this recipe and had all the ingredients required, so we made it, and what a lucky find! The cake was moist and so tasty. Both my kids loved it. Keeping the leftovers for later today!
I only have frozen blueberries. Can they be substituted??
I have never used frozen blueberries in this . I would recommend letting them thaw then coat them with the flour .
Can I double this recipe and use a 9×13 baking pan to make it?
I have never done this but I am sure it would be fine . You may need to adjust the baking time slightly .
