I'm very happy to post that I'm now part of the very sweet, awesome Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD). Blueberry Crumb Cake was the first recipe since I became a member...at least I think I'm a member.
This recipe was very anticipated in my house since blueberry coffee cake is one of my husband's favorites. Dorie did not disappoint! My husband declared it the best crumb topping he's ever had. That's high praise from a food writer.
One of the things I enjoyed in this selection was combining the lemon zest with the sugar. It smelled and tasted amazing. Also, the nutmeg within the coffee cake added just the right hint of spice.
As with any add-in, I tossed the blueberries in flour before folding them into the batter. (Which is also specified in the recipe.)
The only thing I will say to alter if you make the recipe is the cooking time. Mine took a lot longer to bake. I ended up covering the top with foil to keep it from over-browning as the center firmed, as I read some other TWDers did also.
The crumb cake rises significantly and is absolutely delicious. Look how tall it is!
This one will stay in my recipe rotation and be varied with other fruits or fillings. Travel on over to Befuddlement by Sihan for the recipe.
