A while back I posted a picture of this cake on facebook. The demand was so high from the TKW Facebook Family members for this recipe I had to share it. However, time went by and I actually forgot about this cake. It wasn’t until I got an email saying “Please I have blueberries out the ying yang, can I please have your recipe for that amazing blueberry cake?” So I had to dig through facebook to find out which cake she meant (and the thousands of others that asked for it). Once I came upon it, my tummy started to grumble. I’m heading out later to get blueberries just so I can make this 🙂
This cake reminds me of Sunday mornings after church, tea with your girlfriends or sitting on the front porch sipping lemonade with your grandma…
It’s the perfect cake that isn’t too sweet but it’s just sweet enough. Now I know what you’re thinking… “but it says Streusel. Where’s the streusel lady???” It’s actually in the center of the cake. It’s like a hidden gem in the middle. It just makes the cake with those luscious sweet blueberries!
Don’t care for blueberries? Go with raspberries or blackberries! Want to be a rebel? Use a mixture of all 3!
Enjoy!

- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

- In a separate bowl, sift together the 3 cups flour, baking soda and powder and salt.
- Add this to the creamed mixture alternating with some of this and some of the sour cream.

- Add ½ of the streusel topping.
