Blueberry butter cake with streusel topping

 I was searching for some nice recipes with blueberries,while searching i got this amazing cake recipe from Joyofbaking.com.
Absolutely delicious cake.

 

This Cake is having three layers,first layer butter cake,second blueberries and third cinnamon flavored streusel .Fresh blueberries are sandwiched between a layer of  butter cake and streusel topping.Both soft blueberries and crunchy streusel topping gives extra richness and flavour to the cake.I love it...
