What is Blueberry Buckle?

Blueberry buckle is a cake-like dessert that is similar to coffee cake. Buckles have cake and fruit baked together with a streusel topping. As the cake bakes, the fruit and streusel makes the cake “buckle,” giving this dessert it’s unique name.

How to Make Blueberry Buckle

Make this homemade blueberry buckle following these instructions. It’s pretty simple to make and is so good to eat!

• Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray an 8×8″ baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer, scraping the sides of the bowls as needed.
• Add the egg and beat well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing between each addition.
• Fold in the blueberries.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan.

How to Make Streusel Topping

The delicious crumble topping adds texture and flavor to this blueberry buckle!

Make sure to bring your butter to room temperature so it easily mixes with the other ingredients. This yummy streusel topping adds a slight crunchy crumble to the cake making it so addictive.

• In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle the crumbs over the cake batter.
• Bake for 33-35 minutes or until the cake tests done.

The crumbly streusel topping combined with the flavors of fresh blueberries make this cake sweet, moist, and delicious. We love this blueberry buckle recipe for a summer dessert or special occasion breakfast.

Can I Use Frozen Bluberries?

Fresh berries taste best in this recipe, but if you don’t have fresh blueberries because they’re out of season or unavailable, you can use frozen blueberries for this buckle.

Frozen blueberries will still taste great in your cake, but may altar the color of your batter (and finished product) slightly.

When to Serve Blueberry Buckle

Serve this with coffee or tea for a tasty breakfast, snack or dessert at anytime of they day! It’s best served warm, right out of the oven!

Add a scoop of ice cream to make it even more decadent.
