There’s something so charming about mixing ingredients together to the soundtrack of a spring rain.
These Iced Blueberry Vanilla Squares were actually a delicious accident! I was planning on making Blueberry Kuchen, but got distracted by several important phone calls and completely forgot to throw together the crumble topping. I almost didn’t photograph the finished product because I was so annoyed with myself (the crumble is the best part, CMON) until I tried a bite with some vanilla drizzle. Yum! So perfect with a homemade latte! 
These are delicious for a morning breakfast treat or dessert! Just the right amount of sweetness, super fluffy, and little bursts of tartness and texture from the blueberries. You could also throw in a few handful of nuts if you wanted some crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I forget to add the crumble topping?
If you forget the crumble topping, you can still enjoy the cake as is or drizzle it with the vanilla icing for added flavor.
How can I enhance the flavor of the blueberries in the cake?
Try tossing the blueberries in a little flour before adding them to the batter; this helps prevent them from sinking and enhances their flavor.
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries; just make sure to add them directly from the freezer to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
