When it comes to sweet breakfast/brunch baked goods I usually make a traditional coffee cake, but I recently saw a picture of Blueberry Buckle and decided to give it the fruit-filled version a try. I'd never made it before and the blueberries looked so inviting along with the streusel topping. For the recipe I turned to my tried and true experts, Cook's Illustrated.
Since there was no liquid ingredient like milk or buttermilk I was a bit concerned that the cake would turn out dense. Boy, was I wrong. While the batter is extremely thick the cake somehow turns out super light and moist. Absolutely delicious! In fact, I had two squares as soon as the buckle was cooled. Yes, it's that good! This will definitely be going into my breakfast and brunch repertoire.
