Seriously a great go to recipe. I have made this one and tonight I am making it again after my husband has begged for it. My 2yr old daughter can eat a big piece no prob. I used a 9" spring form pan and had to bake a bit longer to bake through, came out so fluffy and and just perfect. The next day it is still so so yummy.

Excellent...easy to make and delicious! The batter is thick when you make it, but turns out like a large muffin cake-and the topping makes it a perfect dessert-sweet! My kids also loved it!

The topping melted into a very unappetizing mess of goo. The buckle itself was decent but way too many blueberries. We anly ate one peice each.

WOW! We loved this! A perfect mix between a cake and a muffin. We only used a half a cup of sugar and it was plenty sweet. Note that you won't be "pouring" this into a pan, you will be "spreading" it, as the batter is thick. Also, we omitted the crumb topping and did the blueberry sauce from allrecipes instead, turned out amazing. A true keeper. Thanks Carol!

I love this recipe. A friend at my school recommended it. My family loved it! I recommend using only fresh blueberrys and adding a tad of lemon zest for an extra punch.I will definitely make this again!

I got scared while making this because the batter was so stiff and didn't even spread across the cake pan. I added in an extra splash of milk and a bit of vanilla but it worked out wonderfully! I did however make half the amount of topping and it was much better, didn't need all that sugar. Great Buckle though my family loved it. It was half gone by the time the day was over!

I made this for work and everyone raved about it. One of my bosses called it "Crack Buckle" because it was so addictive! I added more milk to the batter and a dash of vanilla as well. I think next time I'll add some lemon juice and zest to jazz it up.

This is a winner. Blueberries are really cheap right now. I was told about "buckle" by a lady co-worker. This one is SOOO good. Unlike most people, I like it cold in the fridge!

Simply WOW!!! Easy recipe with fantastic results. I followed the recipe exactly, and my husband couldn't get enough. Warm with some vanilla ice cream made for an incredible dessert; just by itself is going to be breakfast. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's recipe -- it's definitely going into my rotation.

INcredible!! This is a gorgeous cake and is by far much tastier that I had imagined. Mind you, I did use fresh ripe blueberries and that surely made a difference. I followed the recipe to a T but added 1/3 cup sour cream to the wet mixture and cut the milk in half. This equalled a very moist and dense buckle!! I will make this again and again!! Beware!! It makes much more than 4 servings!! I had to give some to the neighbors!!

I just made this today and it's very good! It was a great way to use all the blueberries I just purchased. My family really enjoyed it and it was so simple. Great w/coffee or tea. I would suggest adding a bit more cinnamon than noted in the recipe. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla when I creamed the butter. Delightful and simple. Even with the modifications I made this is not overly sweet at all but very good.

Yummy stuff! I added lemon zest to the batter, and some to the topping instead of cinnamon. The batter seemed thick but baked up perfectly. Yummy and moist. I also made a glaze from lemon juice and icing sugar and poured it on top of the crumble after it came out of the oven for a special touch! Great recipe!

At first I was worried because the batter seemed way too thick. However, after I baked and let it cool, it was the perfect consistency and mouthwatering!!

This recipe is easy to make. I would add more cinnamon on top and less flour next time.
