Amy at The Table
Some recipes feel like they belong to slow mornings and quiet kitchens. Blueberry crumb cake is one of those bakes.
It’s the kind of cake that sits perfectly between breakfast and dessert — soft, buttery cake filled with sweet blueberries and topped with a thick layer of golden crumb topping. The smell alone fills the kitchen with warmth.
I love recipes like this because they feel simple and comforting. Nothing fancy, just good ingredients and a cake that’s meant to be shared. A slice with coffee in the morning or served slightly warm in the afternoon is one of those small joys that makes home feel like home.
The crumb topping is truly the star here. It bakes into a sweet, buttery layer that contrasts beautifully with the soft cake underneath and the bursts of blueberry throughout.
If you’re looking for an easy bake that feels cozy and special at the same time, this blueberry crumb cake is a wonderful place to start.

Cake
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
1. Prepare the crumb topping
In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
Stir in melted butter until large crumbs form. Set aside.
2. Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a loaf pan or small baking dish with parchment paper.
3. Mix the dry ingredients
In a bowl whisk together:
• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt
4. Cream the butter and sugar
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in sour cream and vanilla.
5. Combine the batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Assemble the cake
Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over the entire surface.
7. Bake
Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool before slicing.
Tips for the Best Blueberry Crumb Cake
• Toss blueberries lightly in flour before adding to the batter to keep them from sinking.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work as well.
• Don’t overmix the batter — this keeps the cake soft and tender.
