To make this delicious cake, you’ll need some basic ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, salt, and milk are the main components of the batter. The crumb topping is made with flour, sugar, and butter, which are combined until they form a crumbly texture.

To begin, I start by preheating my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 9-inch cake pan. Next, I combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. I then pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until it’s well combined. I gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

For the crumb topping, I simply mix together the flour, sugar, and butter with a fork until it forms a coarse crumbly texture. I then sprinkle the topping over the batter in the cake pan.

The cake is then baked in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s finished baking, I let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This blueberry crumb cake is the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavors, with a deliciously moist and tender texture. It’s no wonder why it’s such a popular dessert in our household and community. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast option, a delicious dessert idea, or a dish to bring to your next gathering or potluck, this blueberry crumb cake is sure to please. So why not try baking it yourself and see what all the fuss is about? Your taste buds will thank you!
