Blueberry Crumb Cake

a piece of Blueberry Crumb Cake on a napkin

This tender Blueberry Crumb Cake is buttery and isn’t overly sweet with berries in every bite. It’s topping is crunchy and perfectly sweet.   This is the perfect light dessert for the blueberry lovers or breakfast with a cup of coffee.  This is the perfect thing to make when you find those blueberries on sale . If you have a few extra berries give my Banana Blueberry waffles a try , they are so good.

Frequently asked Questions :

  • Can I double the recipe to a 9×13 pan? Yes , but your baking time will be a bit longer
  • Do I have to put the topping on ? No you can totally leave it off, but the cake isn’t overly sweet and this adds a touch of sweetness.
  • Can I use margarine ? For this cake it has to be real butter and not margarine
  • What kind of milk can I use? I used whole milk but use whatever milk you have on hand.

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!
