Blueberry..

..buckle

Although this recipe is named Coffee Cake it is actually a Buckle.  What is a buckle you ask?

A Buckle is a single layer berry cake with a streusel topping.  In fact there is a whole language that describes some of the most delicious fruit desserts ever.  If you want a history lesson with your cake, check out this website.

This is a very simple, but very impressive recipe, my favorite kind!  First things first, you need a spring form pan and you need to grease it well.  Actually you need to butter it well, I also floured mine because I didn't want any sticking.

9 inch spring form pan, ready for duty

Next up, dump in all the coffee cake ingredients, yep no dry mix, wet mix, etc, etc.  Just dump and mix.  I told you this was easy.

Cake batter, just missing the blueberries and some mixing

Mush the struesel ingredients together in a small bowl.  This does not go into the cake, but gets sprinkled on the top.

 Finally, its time for the blueberries.  I used fresh here, but you could easily use frozen ones.

Gently fold in the blueberries

 Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out.

Almost ready..

 Add the struesel with your fingers, yes its messy but what are you going to do?

Unbaked struesel topping, the secret ingredient

Mmmm, out of the oven and cooling off.  Smells delish.  It's just missing one thing..

Ready for the glaze

Some glaze or frosting or icing.. what's the difference?  I guess that is a lesson for another day :)

Ready for tea!

Enjoy!
