Instructions
Preparing the Cake
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a cake pan with butter and dust with flour to ensure that the cake doesnβt stick. -
-
Mixing the Cake Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the blueberry cakeβall-purpose flour, sugar, unsalted butter, milk, whole egg, baking powder, and saltβexcept for the blueberries. Use an electric or handheld beater to mix the ingredients lightly until they are well combined. The batter should be smooth. -
Adding the Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the cake batter. Be careful to not over-mix, as you want the blueberries to remain intact within the batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a small amount of water to loosen it. -
Preparing the Crumble Topping
In a separate bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, cinnamon powder, sugar, and salted butter (softened). Use a fork or your hands to combine these ingredients until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. If itβs too dry, add a bit more butter until the desired consistency is reached. -
Assembling the Cake
Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the batter, ensuring it covers the cake evenly. -
Baking the Cake
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden and the crumble should be set. -
Cooling the Cake
Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes to let any residual heat dissipate before serving.
Preparing the Sugar Glaze
-
Making the Glaze
In a small mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until the glaze is smooth and free from lumps. -
Drizzling the Glaze
Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the prepared sugar glaze evenly over the top of the cake. The glaze will harden slightly as it sets, giving the cake a glossy finish.
Serving Suggestion
Serve your Blueberry Muffin Cake alongside a warm Maple Roasted Cinnamon Spiced Latte for a delightful afternoon snack or as a dessert after a hearty meal like Mexican Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas. The sweetness of the cake combined with the spiced latte will surely impress your guests and leave them asking for more.
Enjoy the heavenly combination of flavors and textures in this irresistible Blueberry Muffin Cake!
