Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

Blueberry Coffee Cake

• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a big bowl.

• Cream butter and sugar for two to three minutes, either with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

• Add the oil, vanilla, eggs, and milk; mix on low for approximately one minute.
  Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and process for 30 seconds on medium speed, just until the components are just combined.

• Take the bowl out of the mixer and stir in the blueberries.

• Pour the batter into the 9×13 casserole pan that has been prepared. Crumble the mixture and place it over the batter. (See the instructions below.)

Crumble

• In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter pieces using a food processor, fork, or your hands.

• When you’re done, make sure the butter is broken up and no bigger than a pea (I prefer clean hands).

• For 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, bake the coffee cake at 350°F. When the top of the coffee cake begins to brown, cover it.

Glaze

• Mix the milk with the powdered sugar.

• You can thin it out with a few drops of extra milk at a time until it has a pourable consistency. Serve a warm cake with a glaze drizzled over it.

Notes

• Some readers have said that they needed additional baking time. When re-testing this recipe, mine was done at 40 minutes. Should you need additional baking time to be able to remove a toothpick with no wet batter, you can add foil rim around the coffee cake so that the top doesn’t burn.

Can this Blueberry Coffee Cake be Made Ahead of Time?

• It is possible to prepare this cake in advance.When it’s slightly warmed up the next day, it tastes even better than it does when it’s fresh out of the ovn.

• Cover and keep it at room temperature (on a hot day, place it in a cold spot).

• It will likely last longer than two to three days, but it always disappears before I have a chance to test it.

Can I Use Other Berries to Make This Coffee Cake?

• Indeed, you may use different berries to make this cake. This cake was amazing when I made it with raspberries as well. You can also choose to make a classic coffee cake instead of adding any berries at all!

Tips for Blueberry Coffee Cake

• Don’t skimp creaming the sugar and butter together until pale and almost doubled in mass. This step aerates the butter and will result in a finer crumb and lighter texture.

• The batter should be thick. Because the batter is thick and substantial, your blueberries should not drop to the bottom of the pan while baking. (So no need to coat in flour!)

• You can use frozen or fresh blueberries for this recipe. I prefer fresh. 🙂

• Make sure you prepare your casserole dish well, but either using a non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.

• Always test with a skewer if the cake is done! Every oven is different so baking times can vary. A wooden toothpick works best, and you want it removed with a few crumbs clinging to the toothpick. A dry toothpick could mean it’s overbaked.
