I found this recipe for blueberry buckle on my friend Jane’s blog a couple of years ago and have been making it ever since. I make this blueberry buckle recipe with fresh blueberries in the summertime and frozen berries in the winter.
I like using an 8×8 inch cake pan when I bake this blueberry buckle because I want a big, fat, satisfying slice. I’m sure there are a ton of calories in a coffee cake buckle with only 9 servings, but who cares, sometimes you just have to live a little.
Got blueberries, raspberries or apples? Go make this. It’s totally delicious!
Blueberry Buckle
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter , plus more for pan
- 2 cups all-purpose flour , plus more for pan
- 1 1/2 tsp . baking powder
- 1/2 tsp . salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp . vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups blueberries {fresh or frozen}
- 1 tsp . ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp . salt
- 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp . butter , room temperature
Instructions
-
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Line pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed to low, and add egg and vanilla. When combined, alternate adding reserved flour mixture and milk to the mixer, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Remove from mixer. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan. To make streusel topping, mix cinnamon, salt, brown sugar and flour together; cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until fine crumbs are formed. Using hands, squeeze together most of the mixture to form large clumps. Sprinkle topping generously over batter.

Bake for about 60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before removing sides of pan. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

I have made this twice now using a combo of frozen tart cherries and home canned peaches with a dash of almond extract. Super yummy!

Hilarious! I had no idea. Thanks for the warning, I’m sure the HH is going to want to see it.

Can you make 2 and freeze one? If so, how would I go about that process and also would I just bake it from frozen or have to that first? Sorry, major newbie to this freezer stuff! LOL Thanks!
Mavis Butterfield says
I would suggest baking it first and then freezing it. I have never frozen the uncooked batter before so I don’t know how it would turn out.

Thanks so much for responding! I will try it!
