Blueberry Snack Cake with Streusel Topping image

I make this blueberry cake every year when fresh blueberries are in season. Not only is it a tasty snack cake, it makes a fabulous breakfast or brunch cake too. It can also be made into muffins, but you might have to adjust the baking time. I got this recipe from a PBS cooking show in the 80's.
