A classic American coffee cake featuring a soft, buttery cake base bursting with juicy blueberries. It's crowned with a sweet and crunchy cinnamon streusel topping that 'buckles' as it bakes, creating a delightful texture. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a simple dessert served warm.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
Prepare the streusel topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the batter.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the room temperature egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions (Dry, Milk, Dry, Milk, Dry). Mix only until just combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the 2 cups of blueberries with a rubber spatula. Tip: Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the dry flour mixture before folding them in to help prevent them from sinking.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. The top should be golden brown.
Let the buckle cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Swap the blueberries for other berries like raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries. Diced peaches or rhubarb also work well.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel topping for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the streusel topping along with the cinnamon for a warmer spice profile.
For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze (1 cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tbsp milk) over the cooled buckle.
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.
The blueberries and flour provide dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health and can help you feel full and satisfied.
Blueberries are a good source of Vitamin C, an essential nutrient that supports the immune system and skin health.
Yes, absolutely! Do not thaw them before use. Tossing them in a little flour is especially important with frozen berries to prevent them from bleeding too much color into the batter.
The name comes from the way the heavy streusel topping weighs down the cake batter as it rises, causing the surface to buckle and crack, creating a lovely textured appearance.
The best way is to use a toothpick or wooden skewer. Insert it into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. If there is wet batter, it needs more time.
Yes, you can use an 8x8 inch pan for a thicker buckle (you may need to increase baking time by 5-10 minutes) or a 9-inch round cake pan. You can also make muffins, reducing the bake time to 20-25 minutes.
Blueberry Buckle is a dessert and should be considered an indulgent treat. While blueberries offer health benefits like antioxidants, the cake itself is high in sugar, refined flour, and butter. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
