Ina Garten’s Blueberry Crumb Cake is a classic coffee cake with a twist. It features a soft and tender cake base, fresh blueberries folded into the batter, and a streusel-like crumb topping made with butter, sugar, and flour. This cake is a comforting, bakery-style delight that can be easily prepared at home.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup
  • Unsalted butter: 8 tablespoons (1 stick), softened
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Sour cream: 1 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Fresh blueberries: 2 cups (or frozen, thawed, and drained)

For the Crumb Topping:

  • All-purpose flour: 1 cup
  • Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Unsalted butter: 8 tablespoons (1 stick), melted
  • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a round cake pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 2: Make the Crumb Topping

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the batter.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
