Blueberry Buckle Cake
Updated March 26, 2019
Today is a special day. It is Josh’s birthday and we have our “big” appointment. We find out what we are having today. Will our little pea be a boy or a girl? Any guesses? To celebrate Josh’s birthday I made him a Blueberry Buckle Cake. Josh isn’t a huge cake fan, but he loves anything with streusel topping.
Blueberry buckle is a single layered cake filled with juicy blueberries and covered with streusel topping. The cake is dense and reminds me of coffee cake or a giant blueberry muffin.
Blueberry buckle can be eaten for breakfast or dessert. I cut Josh a large piece and poured him a glass of milk. He devoured his birthday treat and gave me a big smooch.
I am glad Josh enjoyed his birthday Blueberry Buckle Cake. I will have to make it for him more often. Stay tuned to find out what we are having! We can’t wait to share our good news:)
Blueberry Buckle Cake
Ingredients
- For the topping:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter
- For the batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and set aside.
- 2. To make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Rub in the butter using your finger tips until the mixture is crumbly. Set the topping aside.
- 3. To make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter. Add the egg and vanilla, mix until smooth. Alternately add the buttermilk and the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, ending with flour. Stir only enough to blend. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- 4. Pour the batter evenly into prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the buckle cool for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a knife. Holding the cake pan in your left hand, gently tip the cake out onto your right hand, remove the pan, and gently place the cake onto a serving dish.

His lime dessert is coming tonight:) I will let you know! I can’t wait!
mmmmk, i’m contemplating driving to your house and eating all of your food. this looks amazing!
Delicious! I will be making this for sure. Our 1 yr blueberry plants have about 5 blooms on them. Think that will be enough? Ha, ha! Until those come around, I’ll have to stock up at our orchards here and then I’ll be making this Buckle!
I am jealous you have your own blueberries, even if there aren’t very many yet!
Good luck today Maria!! Can’t wait to hear your great news 🙂 The buckle looks delish as always!
I love blueberry anything, so I know I would love this!!! Can I guess??? A BOY!!! Cant wait to find out!
what a delicious birthday breakfast, and snack, and dessert! My husband loves anything with streusel, too.

As I’ve said before, I wish we were neighbors and I could sneak over for a bite.
We would have so much fun as neighbors:)
What a pretty cake, Maria. Happy Birthday to Josh. As far as my guess – girl.
I second the good lucks! I think I may also have to be with your man on this one. I’m not generally a cake person (which means I’m pretty happy that pie is supposedly going to be the new cupcake) but I do adore anything with streusel. I also had no idea what buckle was, though I’d heard the name before so I’m glad to be educated.
Happy Birthday to Josh. Can’t wait to hear what you’re having, how exciting!
Torture = looking at this without a slice to dig into right away. Looks incredible!
Good luck at your appt today – so exciting!
Can’t wait to hear the news! Good luck at your appointment 🙂 And that cake is so pretty!
What a special day in so many ways! My husband is not a cake person either. He’d rather have pie, cobbler or brownies! Have a wonderful day!
What a big day – good luck at the appt, can’t wait to hear. I’ll guess girl 🙂
The cake looks great, I love anything with streusel topping too!
Blueberry buckle is one of my absolute favorite desserts! This looks incredible!

I have to say that I agree with your husband. I would eat streusel topping off a boot.
Okay, maybe not off a boot. But I would consider it.
Can’t wait to hear all about your appointment!! I remember mine…we showed up and the ultrasound machine was down and I had to go home not knowing. I cried. Luckily they got me in the next day and my husband and I showed up bright and early and found out we were having a boy!! It was 7 years ago but feels like yesterday.
We are having a boy!! We are SO excited:)
I LOVE blueberry buckle. I am earmarking this to make as soon as possible!
Looks delicious!
I’m a sucker for anything with a streusel topping! Giant blueberry muffin? Heck, yes, sign me up!
So I had way too much buttermilk in my fridge that I knew I had to find recipes that required buttermilk. I came across this recipe and let me just tell you….absolutely DIVINE!!!!! I made it the first time this past Friday and loved it so much that I made it again last night (Sunday)!
