This blueberry streusel crumb is so moist and delicious and perfect with the glaze!
I had a recipe for a blueberry cake like this years ago and lost it. Lately I have been making my hot milk cake which I love but I miss my blueberry streusel crumb cake! I’ve been making a few blueberry recipes lately and I think I finally came up with the recipe that I lost. You’re going to love this!
baking Tips
Use a pastry blender or a fork to blend the butter into the flour and sugar. I used my fingers to get it well incorporated too.
Blend in the rest of the recipe while you are beating the 2 egg whites to peaks.
When the blueberry streusel cake comes out of the oven everyone will run to the kitchen as it smells amazing, and tastes even better!

Feeling low – Remember you published a book – envious, I can’t even write a decent letter.
But I can landscape a yard. We all have our talents.
Hugs to you.
Thanks for your comment, Carol. Yes, we all have our talents, I am horrible at gardening!

Thank you, this sounds so good i love blueberries. I planted two bushes last year and got five berries this year can’t wait for them to really make bunches. Have a great week.
Thanks Marlene! My grandparents used to have tons of blueberry bushes. Hopefully this year you get more than 5 berries 😉

This looks so good Jamie! I just got a whole bunch of fresh blueberries from my aunt and this looks like a perfect recipe to use them in.
Thanks Jamie! I love blueberry season.
Hugs, Jamie
This is such a good recipe. The egg whites must make the difference. Want to try it with finely diced apples this fall.
Ooh with apples sound delicious, Carol!

What on earth is a boy bait cake??!
It’s very similar to this recipe without the streusel on top. I just made one today!

Hi, can frozen blueberries be used?
I’m sure you can, Melody!

Made this today and it’s so good! I added a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter as well as the topping. And I was worried the glaze would make it too sweet so instead of using milk, I used half OJ and half lemon juice for a bit of tartness to cut through the sweetness.
Great tips, Mary!
Hugs, Jamie
