How to Make Blueberry Crumble Coffee Cake

Crumble Topping

  1. Melt butter, set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars and cinnamon dry ingredients.
  3. Slowly pour the melted butter in as you stir the mixture with a fork. Start with 3-4 Tablespoons and add more until it looks like crumbles, without mixing too much, as overworking it will make it like a dough. Add in chopped pecans, walnuts or oats for a bit of crunchiness if desired (1/2 cup to 1 cup of each or a combination).
  4.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until it is smooth and creamy. This takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and mix together.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating gently.

  3. To enjoy this cake at its freshest, eat it on the same day it’s made. You can save the leftovers for a few days by wrapping wrapping the coffee cake in foil or place in an airtight container at room temperature.
