Blueberry crumb cake is one of the most beloved summer bakes and smells of freshly picked fruit and melted butter. The soft buttery batter sinks under a layer of juicy berries that release their sweet syrup as they bake, while a crunchy streusel crowns it all. Beneath the topping the sponge stays fluffy and moist, so it pleases the whole family from a Sunday breakfast to an afternoon coffee.

Step by step process

Butter batter

1
Begin with the batter. Cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, then fold it in alternately with the milk until you have a smooth, soft dough.
2
Spread the batter evenly into a greased and floured tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Blueberry layer

3
Sort the fresh blueberries, rinse them gently and let them drain well on a towel. Toss them in a spoon of flour so they release less juice while baking. Scatter them evenly over the batter all the way to the edges.

Streusel and baking

4
For the streusel, mix the flour with the sugar and work in the cold butter cut into cubes. Quickly rub it into coarse clumps with your fingers. Sprinkle them evenly over the whole fruit layer.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping turns golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the tin. Slice and dust with powdered sugar to taste.
