Blueberry Crumb Cake

Every picnic needs to have a few good desserts on the menu.  If you are heading to the park it can sometimes be hard to bring a dessert that will keep well, especially on a hot day.  This Blueberry Crumb Cake is the perfect cake to make as it doesn’t need to be kept cold, not to mention it is really good.

This cake is loaded with fresh blueberries, which makes this a great summer cake.  Instead of worrying about topping this cake with frosting, it has a buttery crumb topping.  This cake not only makes a great dessert but I love it for breakfast with a cup of coffee or to serve for a weekend brunch.  I love to also toss in a few handfuls of chopped walnuts to add to the texture of this tasty cake.  The best part is you don’t even need to get out the electric or stand mixer, this can all be made by hand for an easy homemade dessert.

Serve alone or even with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a dessert you’ll make all summer long.

Here are a few more of my favorite blueberry treats that can be found on MT.
