This easy blueberry crumb cake starts with a yellow cake mix and comes with an attractive layer of buttery crumb topping.
This is the perfect cake for breakfast or dessert!
There’s nothing better than a slice of crumb cake and a hot cup of coffee, especially as a holiday treat. The New York-style bagel shop near my house serves coffee cakes like this one topped with a thick crumb that my family loves. This delicious blueberry crumb cake certainly reminds you of that. Yellow cake mix makes it easy to bake at home.
The result is a soft, rich blueberry cake with a sweet, buttery cinnamon and sugar crumb topping. Biting into this combo is heavenly. This recipe includes a whole pound of butter, but trust me, it’s well worth the calorie splurge.
Your family will be blown away when you make this easy crumb cake for your next holiday brunch or gathering! If you don’t like blueberries, leave them alone or replace them with another berry.

More tips for baking this blueberry crumb cake recipe:
The cup of fresh blueberries was actually quite mellow, so feel free to increase the amount if you want a stronger berry flavor. If you want to add nuts, add 1 cup of chopped pecans for a great crumb topping. This can be made in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I like to eat this coffee cake cold, like at a bagel shop, but you can also warm it up a bit before eating.
This easy blueberry crumb cake was a huge hit!
My family really enjoyed this snack and loved how easy it was to bake. I tried a few other combinations for the crumb topping, but I couldn’t get a true soft crumb result. Melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar worked well!
