Blueberry Orange Crumb Cake …

A scrumptious blueberry crumb cake, topped with a cinnamon pecan streusel and a sweet orange glaze. It is absolutely delicious! While some may call this a coffee cake, we prefer the term Crumb Cake over here because we love to add extra streusel topping! This makes our coffee cake more of the “crumb cake” variety and extra yummy!

This is such an easy dessert to make for spring and summer gatherings like Easter, Mother’s Day, and baby showers, and you certainly can’t go wrong by adding Blueberry Orange Crumb Cake to your weekend brunch menu! I think we love this cake so much because it has such a tasty twist of tart and sweet flavors combined with a light and fluffy cake, a little crunch, and a not-too-sweet icing drizzled over the top. It’s just perfect.

How to make Blueberry Orange Crumb Cake …

Let’s begin with the Crumb Cake.

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a bundt pan.
2. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar at medium speed until it’s fluffy – about 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides as you mix.
3. Reduce the stand mixer speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the orange zest and pure vanilla extract.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together 2½ cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and alternate with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition (careful to not overmix).
5. Stir in the chopped pecans.
6. Toss together the blueberries and the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour in a small bowl.
7. Carefully fold blueberries into the batter.
8. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
9. Top the batter with the Pecan Streusel. *See below instructions for the PECAN STREUSEL.
10. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of the baking time to ensure the top does not brown too quickly.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the crumb cake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then gently remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
12. Once cooled, drizzle with the Orange Glaze. *See below instructions for the ORANGE GLAZE.

Pecan Streusel Instructions

1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly. Then stir in the chopped pecans. Set aside until ready to use or freeze for another day.

Orange Glaze Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and orange juice with a whisk. Continue to whisk until the glaze is smooth. Use right away on a cooled crumb cake.
