It's no secret that I love breakfast. Okay, more specifically, I love sweet breakfasts. Let's face it... My blog could be called "Breakfast with Cristine" or, more honestly, "Cristine's excuse to have sugar at 8 AM"!
Given my love for a good sugar high in the morning, I was thrilled when Sihan of Fundamentally-Flawed chose Blueberry Crumb Cake for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie. Ah.... any excuse to HAVE to make a crumb cake!
This cake was mighty delicious! Full of yummy, fresh blueberries and topped with a fantastic crumb topping - it just doesn't get any better. I cut the recipe in half (I may love sweets but I have to control myself somewhere!) and baked it in a loaf pan. I also used pecans in the crumb topping because I was out of walnuts (how did that happen?). I loved, loved, loved it and will be making it again!
For the recipe, head over to Sihan's blog. And don't forget to check out the blogroll to see what the talented TWDers baked up!

Your cake looks yum-o I sure wish I had blueberries when I made mine :(
Mmm...look at all that blueberry goodness! I love your photo! This was a delicious way to start the day, and I'm not a huge sugar fan early in the day (we ate this one for dessert).
Mmmmm. Looks yummy! See, now that you only made half means you just have to make it again! ;-)
I really loved this one. Im glad you liked it too. Your cake looks so good! Nice job!
I am so with you.
Crumb cake...coffee cake...pancake...waffles...pancakes...donuts....sigh......I could eat breakfast for every meal.
Beautiful! What a great treat for breakfast. Love how you made this in a loaf pan -- having that option will allow me to make this more frequently!
Any excuse to eat sugar in the morning is a good one - and this cake definitely fit the ticket!
Breakfast is one of my favorites too! Hence the blog name ;) Well done!
You crack me up, I'm always looking for an excuse to eat sugar in the morning! This looks wonderful!
I wholeheartedly agree that a sugar buzz is a great way to start any day!
Your cake looks awesome!
I loved this cake too! I'm also a sucker for sweet breakfasts!
Hello kristine, just want to let you know how delicious your cake look like.
Cheers,

I am glad to know the pecans worked! I always have them on hand, never walnuts. Nicely done.
PS I have an award for you on my blog!
I'm glad that this recipe "fed" your preference for sweet breakfasts and that you have a new favorite! Making it in a loaf pan was a good call - your cake looks delightful.

The cake looks terrific! I love the look of the pecans studding the top! Nice job.
You are so cute!
I must admit- I am compiling a file- no joke!- of breakfast recipes to make for my kids as soon as the school year is over!
I am excited.
Your cake looks fantastic. I'm glad you liked, no, loved it!
I love sugar for breakfast too :) It sounds like you liked this cake as much as I did (I wish I had the foresight to make ONLY a half batch) :)
that looks so yummy!
I used pecans too -- they were excellent!
Also pecans here. And I liked that much better. Your cake looks just right.
Good for you that you're able to practice some self control. I NEED to find some! :-(
Looks like everyone really enjoyed this one.

The pecans add a nice visual contrast to the topping. Your crumb cake looks delicious!
Your food looks delicious as always my love, but it is your personality that you put into your blog that keeps me coming back. Reading it always makes me smile.
Your cake looks great. I subbed mangoes for the blueberries in mine. so yummy!
Sometimes I am totally in the mood for a sugary breakfast.
