Blueberry Crumb Cake

Blueberry Crumb Cake
When I first tried this blueberry crumb cake, it was so good, that I demanded of the chef that she give me the recipe. I then sat on this recipe for a while. I was waiting for the right time to arrive. And finally one day, it did. When I was at the produce market, sitting there on the shelf, waiting for me, were fresh organic California-grown blueberries at $4 a pound. It become suddenly clear to me. Blueberry crumb cake!

And so I embarked to make the blueberry crumb cake recipe, but after reading over the ingredients I decided that it needed some changes. I cut back on the sugar and substituted their crumb cake topping for the tried and trusted one my mother has always made. I was very pleased with the results. This one undoubtedly gets my seal of approval.

Here in New Zealand we have no idea what a "Stick of Butter" is. For those of us who are drooling at this lovely recipe, but have not got quite the same measurements, would you be able to tell us how many grams that would be, please?

Hi ! one bar of butter is 190gr . So we need 380grs of butter for the filling and other 380gr for the crumbs. Great Sauvignon Blanc in N.Zealand =) Greetings

Hey, thanks, that was quick! Have got the blueberries, so here we go. Wouldn't know about the Sauv blanc, ethanol is not my drug ;) But there's all sorts of good stuff growing here... Including us. Be well, hope you get to enjoy lots of good meals with or without NZ-grown goodies!

Thanks, randofo, cups seem to be a fairly international measurement. Just FYO in case you ever need it: 1 cup=250millilitres. 250 milliliters (ml) water = 250g (gram). That's because 1 000 gram = 1 kilogram = 1 litre water. These measurements are all tied to the weight of water. Cheers!

Oven temp? Pan size? How long to bake? All of these things are missing from what I can see. Help!

Here's a way to separate your yolks:  When you crack the egg open let the yolk stay in one of the shell halves and pass it back and forth between the shell halves, letting the whites drop away with each pass.  You'll have a lot less mess on your hands and no special tools are needed.
