Blueberry Crumble Cake

If you are looking for a dessert that feels homemade, comforting, and a little more traditional than layered desserts in glasses, this Blueberry Crumble Cake is a beautiful choice. It combines a soft, buttery cake with juicy blueberries and a golden crumb topping that adds just the right amount of texture. The result is a dessert that feels rustic, elegant, and perfect for sharing.

One of the best things about this cake is its versatility. It can be served as a dessert after lunch or dinner, but it also works wonderfully with tea or coffee in the afternoon. The blueberries bring freshness and slight acidity, which balance the sweetness of the cake and the richness of the crumble. Every slice offers a lovely contrast between the tender interior and the crisp topping.

It is also a practical recipe because it does not require complicated decoration. Once baked, it already looks inviting and generous, with its golden surface and pockets of fruit. Whether you are preparing something for guests or simply want a reliable homemade sweet, this cake is always a lovely option.

Ingredients

For the cake batter:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup plain yoghurt or sour cream
• 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

For the crumble topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven and tin Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round or square baking tin.
2. Mix the dry ingredients In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Prepare the batter In a larger bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine the mixtures Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the yoghurt or sour cream. Mix gently until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Add the blueberries Fold the blueberries carefully into the batter.
6. Make the crumble topping In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
7. Assemble the cake Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the surface.
8. Bake Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
9. Cool and serve Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
