Blueberry Buckle
Description
This Blueberry Buckle recipe starts by creaming sugar, butter, egg, and lemon zest to create a flavorful base. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, and salt alternate with milk to form a tender batter. Tossing blueberries in flour before folding them in prevents them from sinking to the bottom. The topping combines cold and softened butter with sugars, flour, and cinnamon to create a spiced crumbly layer that adds texture.
After spreading the batter in a greased pan and sprinkling the topping, the cake bakes until a toothpick comes out clean, indicating doneness. The result is a moist cake punctuated by juicy blueberries and a sweet, crisp topping. It pairs well with tea or coffee and can be enjoyed as a dessert or breakfast treat.
