Blueberry Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping

July 19, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 10 Comments

I have only been home a few days and the weather has been blistering! Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining because at least we have had rain this summer.

Despite the weather I cannot stay away from the oven, and have been baking up a storm ( no pun intended). Some people knit, play computer games, do yoga; I love to bake, it is very therapeutic for me.

 I love a good coffee cake( or anything with sugar in it) and came across this recipe on Jules Food Blog for Aunt Erna’s Blueberry Buckle and decided to try it out. I am calling this a coffee cake because I do not think many people are familiar with the term buckle. In any case it is delicious whatever you want to call it.

Blueberry Coffee Cake

adapted from Jules Food Blog

1/4 cup of butter softened

1/2 cup of sugar

1 egg

11/2 cups sifted flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup milk

2 cups blueberries Fresh or frozen (frozen should be thawed and drained)

Crumb mixture:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup of flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

1/4 cup of butter

For cake: Heat oven to 375. Prepare an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with spray or grease and flour. Set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar using a hand-held mixer. Add egg and mix well. In separate mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add flour mixture to sugar/egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Gently fold in berries. Sprinkle with crumble topping.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.

For crumble: In a small bowl mix together flour, sugar cinnamon, nutmeg. Cut in butter so that mixture resembles small crumbs. Use your fingers, a pastry blender or two knives.

This cake is scrumptious! I loved it! It is moist, the berries are soft and a little tart, and the crumb topping is crunchy with a hint of spice.  As you can see from my photos the cake is a little sparse on the berries, I only used a cup and a half. I like it that way, but if you are a huge blueberry fan you could add more.

I hope you try this cake and any other recipe I have made. I love when people try things and let me know and if you have a favorite coffee cake recipe leave a comment with a link, we would love to check it out.


Enjoy your day! I hope that you have power, I have heard there are many without on the East Coast from the massive storms that blew threw last night.

    Gosh you are such a superb baker Elizabeth, your cooking always looks so inspiring. I tend not to bake to many cakes here in France, why would I when the patisserie's are full of gorgeous things? But I do like to bake for the neighbours and I think this delicious cake will be getting an outing. Thank you so much for sharing.
    I've just had a quick look through your last few days and particulary love your cloud photographs, something I'm going to copy on my next flight.

    I am finally concluded that in order for me to go on a diet and STICK with it, I would have to take a hiatus from blogland and seeing that that is impossible…looks like a diet is not in my cards. LOL……another must keep recipe, this looks heavenly, I can almost taste it from here, Elizabeth!

    Our blueberries are ripening up so this is perfect for me and will try it out. I love cooking too it's very relaxing.

    Our weather has been blistering hot as well but as of today it's back down to where it belongs and beautiful out. Now if only we would get rain!

      Thank you so much for the quick response. Can't wait to make it. My mom made this recipe to the letter, and my husband is considering leaving me for her. Lol.

    Hello,

    Can you substitute whole wheat flour for the wheat flour?

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood
