I was searching for a cake recipe to make in my brand new springform pan (thanks to my future mother-in-law!) when I stumbled upon this amazing looking blueberry crumb cake recipe. I love blueberries and I love streusel topping so I couldn’t resist. Plus it’s a Martha Stewart recipe so it had to be good, right? Yes…yes it was. The cake is soft and light and it is jam-packed with blueberries. I was so happy with how perfectly it turned out from the springform pan – a real beauty! This cake is perfect anytime of day (I definitely had a slice this morning for breakfast) and was quick and simple to put together. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 cups blueberries
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
- Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round springform pan.
- In medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (4 minutes). Add eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add flour mixture and sour cream and beat until just combined.
- Fold in 2 cups of blueberries.
- For the topping: In medium bowl combine cinnamon, salt, sugar, and flour. Cut the butter into the bowl and using a pastry blender or two forks, combine until crumbly. Toss remaining cup of blueberries with topping.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle topping over batter (don’t be shy!)
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick is inserted in center and comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool completely before removing from pan. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.













This looks totally delicious, Kelly. I love the fact that you feature ‘coffee cakes’ rather than just gooey super rich things (yummy though they are) as this is just the kind of cake I like to have on a regular weekend at home. Definitely one to make soon!
PS: Springform tins are the best! Indispensable for cheesecake and other ‘moist’ cakes. You will have so much fun using it, what a great gift!
Thank you, Vanessa! And I can’t wait to try more with my Springform pan!! Thanks for stopping by and for your fedback!!
