Crumb cakes are quite popular in Central Europe, particularly Poland and Germany, where there are numerous variations of this indulgent and delectable dessert. Many different cuisines have adopted it and incorporated local ingredients, such as the blueberry variant, which has been a long-time American favourite with its soft base and beautifully crumbly streusel. This delicious cake is easy to make and may be served as a dessert with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or on its own.
