    Blueberry Buckle

    First Published: July 16, 2009 . Last Modified: October 1, 2021 lisa25 Comments This post may contain affiliate links

    This is a little late but better than never. Blueberry buckle is my "go to" summer dessert when I have to bring something to a picnic. I received this recipe from a friend who passed away some years ago. Her husband gave me her recipe collection and in exchange, I bring over a blueberry buckle every so often and he eats the whole thing himself. I tend to make many of these in disposable foil tins since they are brought to outside functions. Then I don't have to worry about getting my pan back.

    I love the texture of this cake. It is very moist inside but has a sugary, crackly topping. Of course, NJ is known for blueberries and I have several fresh picked pints right now. But when it is no longer blueberry season, frozen berries work fine.

    Blueberry Buckle
    Cake ingredients:
    1 ½ cups all purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
    ¾ cup sugar
    1 large egg
    ½ cup milk
    1 pint blueberries
    Topping ingredients:
    ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
    ⅔ cup sugar
    ⅓ cup sifted all purpose flour
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch spring form pan. Sift together the 1 ½ cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix in the berries. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until cake is golden and you can test test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 minutes to bake.

      It looks delicious, Lisa, and it's so timely with blueberries coming to market in such abundance. I can't wait to taste the crackly crust. Thanks!

      The last baked good I made was a massive fail. At least I'm blaming the recipe and not the cook. Wish me luck on the chocolate cake I'm making today.
