Home Sweet Home Recipe :: Blueberry Crumb Cake

Here's a delicious Home Sweet Home recipe...yummy Blueberry Crumb cake...the Red Brolly way!

A simple and very scrumptious coffee cake overloaded with piles of blueberries bursting through. Lovely to take to morning tea and share over a cup of tea and a chat. Nothing fancy, but very delicious. There are several varieties around, but this is the one that I love and make it my way.

How to make...

Cream sugar and flour together in a mixer. 

Add egg and vanilla. Mix together until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt and add to the butter mixture.

Mix together until just combined.

Slowly pour in the milk.

Grease a baking tray and spread batter out into tray. 

In a separate bowl, mix blueberries with the sugar. Sprinkle bluberries over the batter. Press them into the batter a little bit. They should make a thick layer.

Put aside for the moment.

To make the crumble topping.  In a bowl put the butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and coconut.

Use your fingers and rub the butter until you get something that resembles lumpy breadcrumbs.

Keep going...not quite there yet!

Great! Now sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the blueberries.

Ready for the oven. Bake the cake in the oven for around 45 mins at 180 degrees Celcius.

Whilst your waiting...

When it's looking golden brown and smelling delicious...you know you're there!

Serve warm and fresh from the oven, with some lovely freshly whipped cream!

I can't wait to try this cake, and I love how you made them in their individual containers. The stitchery that you are doing in the middle of the baking is gorgeous.
