FRESH HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY BUCKLE

This recipe really is the best Blueberry Buckle! It’s a soft and buttery coffee cake that’s stuffed with blueberries and topped with a perfectly sweet crumb topping that has a touch of cinnamon.Homemade Blueberry Buckle Cake, slice on a plate with fresh blueberries

WHAT IS BLUEBERRY BUCKLE?

Blueberry Buckle is a classic, country single-layered cake with a crumble topping usually made with fresh blueberries. With this recipe, I am using frozen blueberries. I have found that fresh or frozen blueberries all work well with this.

Blueberry Buckle is a recipe that I often identify as a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. My Grandma made it often and she thought it hearkened back to her Pennsylvania Dutch roots. If you go further north, it is sometimes called Blueberry Grunt. Whatever you call it, I know you will call it good!Delicious Homemade Blueberry Buckle Cake recipe from The Country Cook

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This cake is a bit dense so I suggest slicing it into 12 smaller pieces.

    When using frozen berries do you thaw them out first? This looks fantastic!

    I am a huge fresh fruit person especially living in California. But I do like the tiny Maine blueberries in a can, would they work?

      Hey Sandi! I don’t see why not. I haven’t tried it yet so I’m not sure of the baking time so you’ll probably have to play with that a bit. 🙂
