Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries for this Easy Easter Brunch cake?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter, as this prevents the color from bleeding too much. Tossing them in a little flour first helps them stay suspended in the cake.

How far in advance can I make this Blueberry Muffin Streusel Cake?

You can bake this Easy Easter Brunch cake up to one day ahead. Store it covered at room temperature. For best texture and flavor, serve it the same day it is baked.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free or dairy-free?

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free butter substitute in both the cake and streusel. The texture of this Easy Easter Brunch cake may vary slightly with substitutions.
