Can I use fresh blueberries?

Yes! If you want to use juicy blueberries you have on hand for this recipe feel free to use those in this easy recipe.

Lemon juice to use:

When making this blueberry dessert adding lemon juice is a great way to add a little tart flavor. You could use lemon juice from the bottle which would be about 3 tablespoons, but this has the best results with the fresh lemon. 

An added bonus to using a fresh lemon, you could always use the lemon zest to add to the soft cake for even more flavor.

    Do you thaw the frozen blueberries before using them in the blueberry crumble cake?

    I tried this recipe only thing I do different was I used White sugar instead of brown sugar and instead of it being 3 tablespoons I put half a cup, also extensively Nilla extract, this came out delicious!

    Hi,
    Can you tell me what do you mean by “large baking dish”? 9X13? And should blueberries be thawed before using for the cobbler?
    Thanks!
