I came across this Huckleberry Cake recipe a few years ago and changed it a little. The cake is wonderful even without the topping! Garnish with sliced almonds and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
This was a very interesting recipe. I had it without the topping. It creeps up on you and then it explodes into flavor. At first, it tasted like a piece of bread with some huckleberries in it, but as my palette got used to it, I loved it. Will definitely make it again!!

Very tasty, but after sitting overnight the bottom of this cake became very wet. I used blueberries, which, after a little research I learned are actually huckleberries. Apparently it's a difference in terminology as we only seem to have the blue ones in my area and they are always marketed as blueberries. I loved the topping on this cake - don't skip that! This looks so pretty topped with whipped cream and sliced almonds.
I tried this recipe and loved it! Everyone that I have made it for has loved it also. We were fortunate enough to have a lot of huckleberries so instead of a 1 & 1/2cups of berries we added 2 heaping cups. Excellent recipe! Will definitely use again!
Very tasty ! Thanks for sharing. Just a note to the critic Pam-3BoysMama . Huckleberries are grown mostly in the cool mountains here where I live and in other areas. They are purplely blue and 1/2 the size of a blueberry. If you tasted them side by side , you would taste the difference right away. You have to fight the black bears for them ! VBG I know lol
Yum! Now this is what I think of when I dream of coffee cake. Crumbly, crunchy topping. Moist, rich, fruity cake. Makes fighting the bears for the huckleberries so much more worth it :)
We loved this cake. I changed a couple of things. I baked it in a bundt pan. I also reduced the brown sugar to a cup. The topping I did was a 1/4 cup brown sugar, oatmeal and sliced almonds with the butter and cinnamon. It is light, not too sweet so it doesn't take away from the flavor of the huckleberries. Enjoy!!!
Huckleberries are not blueberries. This recipe came out a bit dry so I think an increase in the huckleberries would do it. A good recipe, it just needs some tweaking.
