Blueberry Buckle
It’s no secret that blueberries are one of my favorite fruits to bake with! Nothing beats biting into a warm muffin or cake filled with these yummy berries! Every summer my husband, kids, and I head over to my grandmas house where she has at least 100 blueberry trees. We pick enough blueberries to freeze to last throughout the whole winter and this is one of our favorite recipes to make with blueberries.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! You can use fresh blueberries or frozen for this recipe and it will taste the same! If using frozen berries, your batter will be thick when adding it to the pan. Make sure to fold your berries in the batter carefully as it will turn the batter blue/purple if you mix it too much.
How to make Blueberry Buckle
- Combine sugar and shortening. Add milk, egg, flour, baking powder and salt.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Carefully press mixture in a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Combine the topping ingredients of sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter until crumbly. I like to place my ingredients in a blender and pulse until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the mixture on top of the cake.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
