I have been a bit obsessed with blueberries lately. Honestly, how can you not love them? They are really good for you and research has shown that a serving of fresh blueberries provides more antioxidant activity than many other fresh fruits and vegetables. One cup of blueberries has only 81 calories and 30% of your daily recommended vitamin C intake. Oh and the best thing about this super healthy food is that they taste great too!
I have been wanting to try Ina Garten’s (Barefoot Contessa) Blueberry Crumb Cake for awhile now. Since I had some of these lovely berries I decided it was high time I finally made the recipe. It turned out fantastic and full of flavor.
The cake is very moist and had a light lemon flavor because of the added lemon zest. The blueberries were like little blue jewels strewn throughout the moist lemony cake. The crumb topping was honestly my favorite part. Once I pulled the cake out of the oven I couldn’t stop eating little bits off the top of the cake. It was crunchy and flavorful and not overly sweet.

Yield: 9 inch cake Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 50 minutes Total Time: 65 minutes Crumb Topping: Cake: Source: Ina Garten For the Crumb Topping: For the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Fold in the blueberries and stir with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out with a knife. With your fingers crumble the topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely and serve sprinkled with confectioners sugar.

It sounds like you love blueberries as much as I do! A kindred spirit. This crumb cake looks amazing! I’m so jealous – I wish I had some for dessert right now.
This would hit the spot right about now!
ah yes…moist juicy blueberry crumb cake. I would like one with a glass of milk, please. Right now, thank you.
Yummy, I will have some with milk too!
Oh my goodness…do you deliver? I would love a big ole slice of this 🙂
Oh my God…that is some gorgeous looking crumble on top…that’s the best part, to me!
Unfortunately the blueberries we have here for some reason are really not that good. Watery and pretty tasteless most of the time, so therefore I am not so fond of them! I do like your recipe though. Looks delicious!
Awesome site. Keep up the great work!
