Blueberry Crumb Cake Recipe – Easy and Delicious
Blueberry crumb cake is a light and moist cake with a crunchy crumb topping. It is so delicious and easy to make. When spring arrives and fresh blueberries are readily available, we love to make this seasonal dessert.
Blueberries are wonderful little fruits. Magically, they symbolize calm, peace, protection, passion, and fertility.
They are also a symbol of spring. When fresh, local berries arrive on the shelves of the grocery store, I know that spring is here. Spring is a wonderful time for trying new ingredients and new recipes. If you want to try something new with these wonderful little fruits, try this blueberry crumb cake recipe!

Eating Seasonal
Desserts are not often thought about when eating seasonal. Sugar and flour are available all year round.
But incorporating season eating into those special sweet treats is something I love to do.
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are some of our favourite spring time ingredients for sweet treats. They can even be a sweet treat all on their own!
My son celebrates his birthday in June. He always asks for some kind of dessert that involves these seasonal blessings. He gets so excited about all the new arrivals at the farmers market and wants to celebrate them in the best way – eating them!
This year for his birthday, I made this Blueberry Crumb Cake – one of his favourites. You can see more about our birthday celebration on our YouTube channel.
The Magic of Blueberries
Blueberries are such magical little fruits.
How can something so small be so full of flavour, nutrition, and magic.
My favourite magical uses for blueberries is for peace and protection. When working with blueberries, like in this recipe, I focus my intention of peace and protection. I also like to be very mindful when simply eating blueberries – really allowing myself to notice the taste and texture of the fruit.
