This Blueberry Muffin Cake is an ALL TIME favorite of mine! It’s soft, loaded with blueberries and topped with the best crunchy crumble!
I have a breakfast cake for you. Oh yes I do.
Cake in the morning almost might be maybe a little bit possibly better than cake for dessert. Did I just SAY that? Yes, I sorta did.
And cake with a crumble topping? HONEY I’M HOME! Yes. Just all yes.
I’m putting my fruit in baked goods aversion to the side today, because I feel like blueberry muffins don’t really count. Why in the world IS that? It’s like they are the fruit exception. I mean, if someone makes a pear cake, I’m all, no thank you very much… but blueberries? Yeah, those sneaky little buggers slip under the radar.
Also my kids obviously love my blueberry muffin recipe. So when we had the idea for a huge blueberry muffin ala the Blueberry Muffin cake we went for it. Fruit and all.
And I even have this fun little video to show you how to do it!
Right now blueberries are at their finest. But please, use frozen, thawed blueberries if you can’t find any gorgeous fresh ones. It’s really totally cool.
My kiddo got super involved in this whole process. Also he decided that crumb topping is the best thing ever. Welcome to the world, young one.
The cake batter is super simple. No mixer necessary.
And you just dump those blueberries on in…
Carefully mix it up…
And spread it in a Springform pan. I use a 9- inch Springform pan for this because I like how easy it is to remove the sides. You can absolutely bake this cake in a 9- inch round pan, as long as it’s not too shallow…or even a 9×9 in square baking dish!
Top the batter with the crumble…
And then bake it up!
Of course I added a sugar glaze. Of course.
And dig in. I’m telling you this is one good cake!
This is great for breakfast or dessert… cake for president!

I tried this today cause I wanted to use the two cups of fresh blueberries I picked last Sunday and of course share it with my co workers . I had a slice after it cooked of a bit , YUMMY!!! but it only took about 34 minutes in my oven, good thing I checked cause I set the timer for 40 minutes. This is a keeper, I will bake another one tomorrow for the blueberry farm owner, I will be helping her picked the the rest of the berries, will see. Her bushes are still loaded and I was there Sunday
Good but needs brown sugar in topping instead of granulated sugar!
I actually have never left a review on Pinterest before and I usually have a good experience with recipes, but this came out so poorly that I felt I needed to respond. It took a tremendous amount of time compared to what the recipe called for, and I am a mother of 2 under the age of 2, and don’t like wasting time. When it eventually was done, the flavor was not great and it was far too sweet. I would never make this again and I would not recommend trying this recipe. Go for one that’s more tried and true. I wish I had done so. Sorry to the author, I just think the measurements were poor and not what they should have been. It was not a good cake at all. Sorry 🙁
I followed the recipe as written and I brought it to a gathering. It received rave reviews. I will definitely be making this again. As soon as one of the guests took a bite, she asked for the recipe. I was happy to oblige. This recipe is not time consuming and comes together quickly.
the best blueberry crumb crunch cake i had ever made delicious
