This turned out pretty perfect. My only feeling was that it was exactly like a blueberry muffin and seemed like a breakfast item to me! My in-laws love it however. - 29 Oct 2012
Delicious moist cake, so easy to make. It makes one very large cake which took slightly longer to cook that what the instructions said so next time I will either half the quantities or make two.....all the more to enjoy really!! - 25 Oct 2013
Recipe was really easy to follow - more importantly is tastes amazing the slight hint of vanilla running through the rich moist crumb with the burst of Blueberries and the yummy crumble topping adding a new dimension of texture and taste means that this cake is absolutely delicious - this blueberry crumb cake is now a definite favorite of mine for afternoon tea ;-) Only criticism I have is that it makes for a very large 10 inch cake...reduction in ingredients to make a smaller version would be better as it was a struggle to eat it all before it perished :-( - 22 Oct 2013
