It’s Friday so I decided to make myself a treat. OK, fine, I make dessert close to daily but who’s counting? (Actually, our scale is and he’s telling me to stop it asap.) Not feeling creative today, so I just pulled out my trusty Perfect Cakes book, by Nick Malgieri and made his Blueberry Crumb Cake. He says it’s one of his favorites and that sells it for me.
It is a wonderful light cake, perfect for a breakfast or brunch, only mildly sweet and the blueberries are left to their natural flavors. I’m sure I’ll be making these again.

if this is what you make when you’re not feeling creative, i’m impressed. it looks perfect and delicious–i’m a sucker for crumb toppings. 🙂
When CSC made her version of a blueberry crumb cake, the blueberries, for some reason, were all on the bottom. Yours, the blueberries are nicely on top. Weird eh?
The cake looks great and this is one of my favourites to have for an afternoon snack.
Grace, when I’m not feeling creative pr inspired, I don’t write my own recipe. I find it relaxing to use a good cookbook once in a while.
JS, In this recipe, the batter is spread in the pan first, then the blueberries are just sprinkled on top, then the crumb layer. The batter CSC used may not be dense enough to prevent the sinking.
wow. that blueberry crumb cake looks yum.. and speaking of it … i have not had it for 3 years already. T__T
Renaye, sounds like it’s time to break out the blueberries.
mm, i have been on a blueberry kick lately. this crumb cake looks like the perfect thing for me 🙂
Megan, at least that’s a healthy kick!
