  • ¾ cup whole or 2% milk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberries

  • ¼ cup softened butter (4 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Lemon Glaze

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Blueberry Coffee Cake

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350° and line a 9x9 square dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  • Add your softened butter and sugar to a large bowl and cream together for 2 minutes using a hand mixer.
  • Add in the eggs, vanilla, and milk and beat again to combine.
  • Sprinkle the top of the mixture with the all purpose flour, then sprinkle the baking powder over the flour.
  • Fold the mixture together with a spatula just until you see no more white flour. Do not over-mix.
  • Add in 1 cup of blueberries and gently fold in to the mixture. Spread into the prepared pan and set aside.

Cream Cheese filling

  • Using the hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and beat again until combined.
  • Spread over the cake layer in the pan and top with ½ cup more blueberries.

Crumble Topping

  • Add all of the crumble ingredients to a small bowl.
  • Press the mixture into the butter while you stir. You can use a fork for this or a pastry cutter.
  • Keep mixing and pressing until your mixture looks like crumbles of wet sand.
  • Add the crumble to the top of the cream cheese/blueberry layer.
  • Bake the blueberry coffee cake on the center oven rack for 45-50 minutes. You'll know when It's done when you can insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. You may have a couple crumbs on the toothpick from the cream cheese layer but It should not be wet.
    Be careful not to over-bake of the cake can dry out.

Optional Lemon Glaze

  • Stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice then drizzle over the cooled cake.
