In Poland and Germany, where there are numerous varieties of this luxurious and delectable dessert, crumb cakes are particularly well-liked. It has been adopted by many other cuisines and infused with regional ingredients, such as the blueberry variation, which has been a favourite for decades and features a chewy base and delectably crumbly streusel. This delicious cake doesn't take much time to prepare and can be ready to serve as a dessert with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or on its own.
This is a terrific dish to use up any extra fruit you may have on hand, such as additional blueberries from your pantry. Use frozen or fresh blueberries. For the latter, put the fruit in a colander and run cold water over it several times. Pour the berries onto paper towels and pat them dry until the water has turned somewhat clear or reddish. This technique can be used to prevent the batter from turning completely blue, rather than just a few appealing blue spots. Despite how it may appear, this blueberry crumb cake is simple to make and only needs a little attention to our straightforward instructions. To make preparation easier, have all materials available and measured before you begin.
