Let me set the scene up for you...I was making breakfast for dinner, a vegetable frittata, fried potatoes with onion and green peppers, bacon and homemade bread.  Before I started dinner I made this cake.  My husband ate a full plate at dinner time.  So much so that he pushed his chair away from the table and declared...I'm stuffed.  I, knowing this cake would be cool enough to eat after dinner, let room for it.  I told Paul I was going to get a piece of cake.  Figuring that he was to full to want any, but still wanting to offer it, I asked him if he wanted a piece.  "Ok, but just a small piece", was his reply.  While he was into his second bite, he looked at me and said..."This is the best blueberry cake I've ever eaten.  It's so soft, the blueberry's taste so good."  He went on like this while he sat and ate piece after piece of cake till he had eaten...half the 13x9 inch pan himself!  This cake is so soft and moist. The blueberry and lemon flavors are so perfect together, this is truly a cake you won't forget, and will want to make over and over again.  This simple cake is one of the best cakes I've ever made.  And even though the topping melted into the cake, I'll still put it on and let it melt into the cake.  Why?  Because the next time I make it, I want it to taste just like it did this first time I made it, absolutely heavenly.
 I did add a few things to the recipe...
 I added  an extra tsp of vanilla and the zest of a lemon to the cake batter.  The reserved 3/4 cup of topping seemed to disappear into the cake. If you wanted the crumb topping to be prominent on top of the cake, make more topping than the recipe calls for.  And although the cake would be wonderful as is, I decided to add more lemon flavor by adding a Lemon Glaze to the top of the cake, now I had the lemon blueberry taste I so love!  This is an extraordinary cake that you will absolutely love!
