Do you like crumble cakes? I do, and every time I make it, it’s a joy for the whole family! Today, I’m suggesting a delicious crumble cake with blueberry jam that we can customize to our own tastes.
We can enrich it by using fresh blueberries or completely change the flavor with the preserve or jam we like best.
This crumbly cake with jam is perfect for every occasion! A nice slice at breakfast to get the right boost!! As a dessert to finish the meal in the best way! Or for a snack!
It’s easy and quick to prepare, and it keeps for several days; just cover it with a cake dome to prevent it from drying out. If you want, you can also freeze it so not a single crumb will go to waste!
Its characteristic? It has a crispy surface and a soft filling that we can customize according to our tastes or the seasons.
I love these “messy tarts“, as I like to call them, so much that I decided to create a yummy collection with many variations.
My favorite? If I think of a delicious version, certainly the one with Nutella, but I also adore the version with cream and apples! Be sure to try them!
Did you know that savory crumbles can also be made? They are truly delicious; here are my suggestions!
1) with zucchini, stracchino, and cooked ham
2) with potatoes, sausage, and mozzarella
3) with chicory, mushrooms, stracchino, and gorgonzola
Now let’s see the procedure for the crumble cake with blueberry jam, but first, don’t miss these 4 delicious breakfast recipes 😍
- Cost: Medium
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: about 10-12 people
- Cooking methods: Electric oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsps butter
- 2 eggs (medium-sized)
- 7 tbsps sugar
- to taste lemon zest (or orange)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 12 oz blueberry jam (or jam of your choice)
Tools
- Bowl
- Lemon zester
- Spoon
- Cake pan
Preparation
In a bowl, pour all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix with a spoon.
Add the softened butter at room temperature and the grated zest of half a lemon or orange.
Mix well with your hands until the butter melts and is absorbed by the dry ingredients.
Add 2 medium-sized whole eggs and mix with your hands until you get a crumbly dough.
Take a baking pan and line it with parchment paper to better release the crumble cake.
Round, square, or rectangular is fine. Mine was 10 inches, but 9 or 12 inches is also fine because it is a cake that doesn’t rise.
Set aside one-third of the dough obtained and pour the rest into the pan, slightly compacting with the back of a spoon.
Fill with blueberry jam (you can choose the flavor you prefer) and spread it well.
Take the dough set aside and cover the entire surface with crumbs.
Bake your crumble cake at 338°F, preheated fan oven, for about 40 minutes.
You can also bake the crumble cake with blueberry jam in static mode for about 5-10 minutes more.
Remember, the cooking time varies from oven to oven, and you must always check.
When the surface appears nicely golden, remove from the oven and let it cool before removing it from the mold.
Smell that wonderful aroma of crumble cake with blueberry jam? It’s irresistible!

Can I replace butter with oil and in what amount?
If you want, yes! You can find the amount in my butter/oil conversion table, which will also be useful for many other recipes ❤️
How long should the crumble cake stay in the oven?
Usually 35-40 minutes, depending on the type of filling.
And how do you know if a crumble cake is cooked?
When it becomes nicely golden on the surface, we can take it out 😉
How long does a crumble cake last?
They usually last a long time, even up to a week, always depending on the filling. Just cover them with a cake dome to prevent them from drying out too much, or put them in the fridge if the filling is cream or fresh fruit-based.
Additionally, we can also freeze our crumble cakes to enjoy them at any time of the day! Just store them in airtight containers and maybe cut them into slices for convenience!
