Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg, milk, baking powder, and salt. Use a hand mixer to mix well. Mix in half of the flour, then incorporate the remaining half. Fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set it aside.
- Make the topping. Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter in a medium-sized bowl. Mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until combined and crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter. Bake the buckle for 45-50 minute, or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Make the lemon glaze. While the cake is baking, whisk the powdered sugar with the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk in the greek yogurt if using, or add more lemon juice to desired consistency.
- Cut the buckle into squares and drizzle with the lemon glaze.

Steps:
- FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt & lemon zest.
- Add butter, using a fork or your fingers to cut in the butter until it is reduced to pea-size, then loosely cover the bowl & place it in the freezer while mixing the cake batter.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- FOR THE CAKE: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl & with a hand mixer, cream together the butter, 3/4 cup sugar & lemon zest for 3-5 minutes or until light & fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Stir flour mixture into this butter mixture, about 1/3 at a time, alternating with the buttermilk, until both flour mixture & buttermilk are evenly incorporated into the batter.
- Gently fold just 1 cup of the blueberries INTO the batter, then spread the batter into the prepared pan before distributing the remaining blueberries evenly over the top of the batter.
- Remove the crumb topping from the freezer & sprinkle it over the berries.
- Bake the cake 45-50 minutes or until it is lightly golden & firm on top & a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean ~ Be sure to rotate it after the first 25 minutes for more even baking!
- FOR THE LEMON SYRUP: While the cake is baking, in a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup of sugar & the lemon juice, whisking together until well blended. Heat the pan over medium-low heat & cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, or until the liquid thickens a bit.
- Remove from heat & set aside to cool slightly.
- When the cake has finished baking, drizzle the warm glaze over the hot cake, then cool to room temperature.
- Any leftovers can be covered in plastic wrap & kept at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Make sure your butter is cold before you cut it into the flour. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and the flavors to develop.
- The lemon sauce is optional, but it adds a delicious tartness to the cake. You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Conclusion:
Blueberry buckle with lemon sauce is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy lemon sauce. This recipe is a great way to use up fresh blueberries, and it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
