Blueberry Buckle

It's the season of blueberries!!! They are going for $3.99 for 2 boxes at NTUC. The auntie spirit in me told myself that I shouldn't give up this great deal. Looted 4 boxes from the supermarket. Was thinking hard what I can make with them. Blueberry muffins sounds good but I don't wanna be making muffins again since I've made them recently. Googled for some inspiration and found Anna Olson's recipe. Since she is one of my favorite chefs, I must try the recipe!

Honestly I've never eaten a Blueberry Buckle before so I don't know what to expect. It tastes like blueberries sandwiched between vanilla cake and crispy streusel bits. Kinda like the cakes you would eat with your Starbucks latte. Pretty good stuff to make for a picnic as you do not need the fridge to keep the cake intact.
