A moist and tender blueberry coffee cake featuring juicy blueberries and a buttery cinnamon crumb topping, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (crumb topping)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in sour cream until smooth.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in blueberries.
  8. Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. In a separate bowl, mix crumb topping ingredients (flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter) until crumbly.
  10. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter.
  11. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries without thawing.
  • Add lemon zest for a brighter citrus flavor.
  • Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts add extra crunch to the topping.
  • Greek yogurt can replace sour cream in equal amounts.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
