About Blueberry Buckle Cake
A buckle is an old fashioned American coffee cake made with fresh fruits and a crumb topping. As the cake bakes, the fruit sinks slightly into the batter, creating an uneven look on top. This is how it got its name.
There are many variations of buckle cake, including strawberry buckle, raspberry buckle, mixed berry buckle and more. Among them, blueberry buckle is one of the popular versions.
This cake is made with plain flour, butter, sugar, lemon zest, eggs, baking powder, milk, and blueberries scattered throughout. It has a streusel topping over the cake which taste so delicious. I have also added a little lemon zest to bring out the citrus flavour which goes well with blueberries.
I love serving this cake with a cup of coffee or tea. It tastes delicious on its own or for breakfast.
