This light and flavorful Blueberry Muffin Cake is filled, with fresh blueberries, buttermilk and finished off with a buttery crumb topping. This easy cake is perfect for breakfast, s a snack or for dessert.
Good morning everyone and welcome to Potluck Sunday. The other night I made a Taco Casserole that bombed big time. Thank goodness I redeemed myself with this fabulous Blueberry Muffin Snack Cake for dessert. Oh goodness this cake was so moist and delicious.
It reminded me of a blueberry muffin bread, but was moist like a cake with a yummy topping. I had some fresh blueberries that my husband brought home from a road side stand. I love it when he does that it's always such a nice surprise. Fresh blueberries are so much sweeter than the frozen. I don't know why, but they just are.
As soon as I saw those blueberries I knew immediately what I wanted to make. A couple weeks back this recipe caught my eye over at Mandy's Recipe Box. The photo alone just made my mouth water all those blueberries and that yummy topping oh my.
I printed off the recipe and tucked it away. I thought this cake would be perfect for dessert or a quick breakfast. Well I was right because we munched on this wonderful cake for dessert and then had the leftovers breakfast the next day.
Mandy was right you just cant have one piece. I might try this recipe next time with some blackberries that I have in the freezer. I have included some step by step photos of the blueberry cake. As usual fashion the full recipe is at the end of this post.
Combine the flour and sugar. Cut the butter into pieces using a knife and add to the flour mixture. Blend using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly. Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture to use as a topping. Add the baking powder, milk, egg yolks and mix well and set aside. Beat the egg whites til soft peaks form.
Add the milk and egg mixture into the flour and mix. Fold the egg whites int the batter and lightly mix everything together. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with blueberries and and add the reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-35 min or until golden brown.

Tina,
Is anyone else having trouble reading your web pages? The background color has gotten lighter and the light colored text is barely readable.
Help!
What a beautiful cake! Looks delicious!
That looks and sounds sooo yummy! I'm always on the lookout for new recipes so I will definitely have to visit again~
I made this the other night and it was delicious...it was all gone on the second day!
I made the blue berry cake and it was a big hit in my house.

This looks so delicious, I'm bookmarking it! I love your potluck Sundays :)
I made this for a church potluck today and it was FANTASTIC! I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose, buttermilk instead of regular, and went with frozen blueberries because that was what we had. I had to cook it about 20-25 minutes longer than recommended, but I just kept checking it and poking it with the toothpick. Definitely a winner!
This looks soooo yummy! I can't wait to try it! Bet it would be yummy w/ almond extract too ;)
It might be good with almond extract too as an alternative to vanilla.
I'm going to try some lemon zest in it. I'll let you know! :o)
I have made this before and you're right about the lemon...I add lemon zest to mine from one lemon and the juice of the lemon. And the outcome is "mouth watering."
I love your recipes and I'm always looking for new ones and when I make something from your site and take it to church functions, I let everyone know where I got the recipe.
Does it need to be refrigerated or would it be ok at room temp?
Sounds good but what is cold butter?
Cold butter is just butter that has not been brought to room temperature. Just use it right out of the refrigerator.
This cake is fine kept at room temperature.
I teach in a homeschooling group and we will be having a staff meeting soon. THIS will be perfect to bring as my contribution to our snacks!
Oh my goodness! Absolutely delicious! Our 2yr old dropped and broke 11 of our 12 eggs and had to use all the eggs. This was one if the yummy things I made! X
I just made this recipe using fresh wine berries. It is so delicious!
