Description

A moist and flavorful Brown Sugar Blueberry Coffee Cake featuring a tender crumb, fresh blueberries, and a delicious cinnamon brown sugar streusel topping. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries (tossed with a little flour to prevent sinking)

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  3. Add eggs and flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Then add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  5. Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet batter, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  6. Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries that have been lightly coated with flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
  7. Pour batter into pan: Spread the batter evenly inside the prepared 9×9-inch pan using a spatula for a smooth surface.
  8. Prepare streusel topping: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly and evenly combined.
  9. Add streusel topping and bake: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Coating the blueberries with flour helps keep them evenly distributed in the cake batter.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • This cake is best enjoyed within 2 days but can be stored covered at room temperature.
  • Reheat slices briefly in the microwave for a warm treat.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if needed.
