I'm not a huge fan of cakes (I know right) but this one was really good! The crunchy cinnamon topping added just the right amount of sweetness. The cake itself was moist not too sweet. It was the perfect companion to my afternoon cup of coffee!

The cinnamon topping was unique--I don't know that I've ever paired blueberry and cinnamon together, but it worked. I could see this working especially well as a breakfast cake, paired with a tall mug of coffee.

I typically don't like blueberry pie, but this cake was really good. The top was almost like a crumble and it was still warm making it very flavorful.
