Blueberry Crumb Cake, German
This crumb cake is like a coffee cake, not too sweet, which fits my taste. I often eat it with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. I do substitute raspberries or blackberries for blueberries depending on what berries I have on hand when I want to make it. No surprise, it comes out great every single time.
