If you’re a fan of blueberry muffins but find them too much work, you’ll love this Blueberry Muffin Cake. It’s a wonderfully moist vanilla sponge loaded with blueberries and topped with a sweet, buttery crumble. This cake is incredibly soft, tender, and tastes just like it came straight from a bakery.
The batter comes together easily in just one bowl, starting with buttermilk and yogurt for that perfect moist texture. Yogurt not only adds moisture but also helps bind everything together, so there’s no need for eggs. You can even use dairy-free ingredients to make it completely vegan-friendly. Fresh blueberries are gently folded into the batter before sprinkling on a simple 3-ingredient crumble for that delightful buttery, sweet crunch. If you’re a blueberry muffin lover, you absolutely have to give this cake a try!
Blueberry Muffin Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup almond milk or any other non-dairy milk of your choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries if using frozen, do not thaw
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or serve slices plain.
- Enjoy your delicious vegan Blueberry Muffin Cake!
