This blueberry cake is a recipe that I have made a number of times over the past five years. I have adjusted some ingredients here and there until I got it absolutely perfect! It comes out best using fresh blueberries, but I have used frozen blueberries in a pinch with good results!
Your Shopping List for the Blueberry Coffee Cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups blueberries
Your Shopping List for the Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cups flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 stick cold butter, cubed
Your Shopping List for the Vanilla Glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- about 4 tsp milk or water
Now Let's Make the Blueberry Coffee Cake:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and liberally grease a 9 inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt called for in the Blueberry Coffee Cake shopping list
- Add the melted butter, milk, and egg and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (this batter will be very thick)
- Gently fold in the blueberries
- Spread coffee cake mixture evenly into prepared pan
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon called for in the Crumb Topping shopping list
- Cut in cold, cubed butter with a pastry cutter
- Sprinkle crumb topping over coffee cake batter
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until the cake is cooked through and the top is golden
- Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove sides of pan and allow cake to continue cooling
- Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water or milk until a glaze forms that is thin enough to drizzle but thick enough to not fully spread out when poured
- While cake is still warm, drizzle with Vanilla Glaze
- Cut and serve coffee cake while warm or allow to finish cooling completely and store in a cake carrier or on a cake plate with lid
This looks delicious! I make a similar version, but it's with a muffin mix out of a box. Doesn't sound as appetizing as yours, but it's really good, too!
