If you love blueberry muffins, you will love this cake. Blueberry is one of my favorite fruits to bake with and to add to smoothies or fruit salads. Have you made a blueberry upside down cake or blueberry scones? These cute little blueberry flower tarts would be perfect for any special event or a weeknight dessert.

I’m adding this blueberry muffin cake to my list of favorite blueberry baked goods. It’s a blueberry muffin in cake form! Filled with fresh blueberries and then topped with a delicious crumb topping and baked in a gorgeous springform pan from Circulon. I see many cakes being baked in this pan!

I also used brown sugar, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar from Dixie Crystals. Their products are the best and make everything I bake or cook with sugar even better.

This blueberry muffin cake recipe is easy to make and easy to devour!

Instructions for making Blueberry Muffin Cake

Step 1

As usual, I like to gather everything for the recipe and have it set out. Saves time and you’re likely to have what you need as opposed to finding out you don’t have an ingredient after you’ve started. Spray your 9 inch spring form pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter until they are blended. Set aside. I like to place the crumb topping mixture in the refrigerator so that the butter remains cold. Sometimes, the butter in a streusel topping can melt in the oven if the butter isn’t cold enough.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder; whisk and set aside.

Step 4

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a an electric hand mixer and a large bowl) cream the butter and sugar together. Then add the milk and egg.

Step 5

Save about 1 tablespoon of the dry ingredients to toss the blueberries in. Coating the fruit lightly with flour will help the blueberries from sinking in your cake.

Step 6

Gradually add the flour mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients. Fold in, by hand, the blueberries.

Step 7

Spread the cake batter into the prepared pan and top evenly with the crumb topping. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a butter knife and then remove the sides of the springform pan. Allow cake to cool before glazing.

Step 8

To make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine all of the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. You can make this glaze as thin or as thick as you want by adding either more powdered sugar (this will thicken the glaze) or adding a bit more milk which will thin out the glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftover cake in an airtight container for up to three days. You can freeze the unglazed cake. Thaw before glazing.

Who can resist blueberry coffee cake? I know I can’t!

Tips, Tricks, and FAQs

Lightly coat the blueberries with flour; this will help them not sink to the bottom of the cake
Fresh blueberries work best but you can frozen blueberries; thaw and drain before adding to cake.
Change up the fruit for raspberries, blackberries, or a combination of berries.
No springform pan? Use a bundt pan and adjust the baking time.
Use cold butter for making the crumb topping. Warm butter will melt in the oven and not give you that crunchy crumb topping.
In the glaze and the cake, you can use any kind of milk you would like.
Try using lemon extract in place of the vanilla in the glaze.
