Description
A simple recipe for a moist coffee cake featuring fresh blueberries and a streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- For Streusel: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- For Streusel: 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- For Streusel: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For Streusel: 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Gently toss the blueberries with one tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh, but do not thaw them before using.
