These wild blueberry lemon crumb cakes bring two great ingredients together. Lemon and blueberry are fine on their own, but together they are magical, especially with this golden brown crumb cake topping.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
- 0.33 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
-
1
Combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a small bowl. Mash together with the back of a spoon until uniformly combined. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes. Once cold, crumble into pea-sized crumbs, and return to the refrigerator until needed.
-
2
Whisk together 1 1/3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
-
3
Add 1/2 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and lemon zest to a large bowl; stir and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
-
5
Add butter to the bowl with lemon zest. Beat with an electric hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract, yogurt, and lemon juice, and mix briefly to just combine. If mixture separates, it will come back together when you add dry ingredients.
-
6
Add flour mixture, and blend just until flour disappears.
-
7
Divide batter equally between the prepared muffin cups. Top each cake with a heaping teaspoon of blueberries, and lightly press berries down in the center. Divide crumb mixture evenly over cakes.
-
8
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a skewer inserted near the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool crumb cakes completely before serving.

Jumbo Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I received free blueberries recently. I admit I never actually tasted a real one before. Always the boxed muffin kind. I loved them. Recently switched to whole wheat, so I wanted to try a new muffin recipe out. This is the one that not only turned out great, but filling as well. When I was eating it, I was craving eggs. Next time I will have to remember to throw in a fried egg or two on the side. I made 6 jumbo muffins.

An interesting twist on a classic. My family's new favorite.
Simple and Delicious Buttercream Frosting
I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla buttercream frosting recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring, or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally, I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.
