Blueberry Sour Cream Crumb Cake

Tuesday, May 25, 2021
This Blueberry Sour Cream Crumb Cake is a totally delightful way to enhance an already fabulous coffee cake by adding fruit to it and that's what this recipe is all about fruits, and crumb cakes.


Crumb cakes are an all-time favorite with a yummy topping on cakes or muffins and you can do both with this one delicious batter in this recipe.


A tender cake with sour cream, using easy simple pantry ingredients and any kinds of fruit you like not just blueberries!



We happen to be big blueberry fans so do try our muffins grilled, recipe, and we always make sour cream blueberry bars, blueberry flan, and blueberry lemon loaf bread all year long while they are in season!


If you want a delicious breakfast coffee cake or muffin you just found the perfect recipe right here everyone loves this addicting and yummy cinnamon topping.


This simple basic recipe is so versatile, can be made all year long with whatever seasonal fruits are available from berries to apples in fall.


The cake-like quick bread is really a combination of both, a heavier cake but perfect in any pan you decide to bake the recipe in.

Easy and Homemade Scratch Cake Steps



These are simple steps and proven to be effective for years by just combining wet and dry ingredients gently for the best results.


Over mixing will ruin the tenderness of the cake/quick bread, so please read the recipe before starting to mix the ingredients together.


Blueberries are placed on top with the crumb topping to ensure a delicate tender cake before baking and not folded in the batter.

Tips

Trying Other Fruits



These cake or muffins are great with so many fruits but remember to always blot the fruit dry to avoid discoloration in the batter and make it dense and not cook correctly.


These also freeze well, just place them on a cookie sheet, freeze solid and place in freezer bags.


If you're making muffins instead use a muffin pan without liners and always put the fruits on top not folded in.


Let me know how you like the recipe, hope all my tips helped, I would love to hear your comments.
