Blueberry Coffee Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries or can use frozen blueberries do not thaw

Instructions

Crumble Topping

  • Melt butter, set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugars and cinnamon.
  • 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).
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.

Blueberry Coffee Cake

  • To start, turn the oven on to 375°F and put the oven rack in the middle. Use butter or cooking spray to grease a 9-inch square pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  • 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.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix together.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating gently. Then add the berries and fold in gently, making sure to not over-mix.
  • Put the batter in the pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until it looks golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when you poke it in. Let it cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving from the pan.
  • To enjoy this cake at its freshest, eat it on the same day it's made. Save the leftovers for a few days by wrapping the coffee cake in foil ir place in an airtight container at room temperature.
