Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round or square cake pan with butter and dust it lightly with flour to ensure the cake doesn’t stick. -
-
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Add the beaten egg, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 3/4 cup milk to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer or a handheld beater to mix everything together until smooth and well-combined. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of water to loosen it up a bit. Once everything is blended, gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them. -
Prepare the Crumble Topping:
In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder, and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Use a fork or your fingers to blend the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture. -
Assemble the Cake:
Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased cake pan and spread it evenly. Top with the crumble mixture, spreading it out as evenly as possible over the cake batter. -
Bake the Cake:
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the cake firm to the touch. -
Cool the Cake:
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack. This allows the residual heat to dissipate and makes it easier to handle. -
Prepare the Glaze:
While the cake is cooling, prepare the sugar glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. -
Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to gently soak into the crumble topping. The glaze will add a lovely sweetness that complements the cake’s flavors perfectly. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Your Blueberry Muffin Cake is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it fresh with a cup of coffee or tea, or pair it with a sweet Maple Roasted Cinnamon Spiced Latte for a delightful snack. It also makes an excellent dessert following a meal, such as the Mexican Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchilada Recipe.
This Blueberry Muffin Cake Recipe brings together the best of both worlds: the fluffy texture of muffins and the indulgence of a cake. The blueberries add a burst of freshness, while the cinnamon crumble topping provides a satisfying crunch. The sugar glaze adds the final touch, making each bite irresistibly sweet and rich.
So, whether you’re enjoying it as a morning treat or as a sweet end to your meal, this cake is sure to impress. Try it out and savor the divine taste of homemade goodness!
