This old fashioned blueberry coffee cake is topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel that makes it a family favorite generation after generation.

Amazing Blueberry Coffee Cake is delicate and sweet on the inside with a buttery crisp crumble topping. A family dessert recipe passed down through generations.

Blueberries are my absolute favorite fruit. One day, in what my family lovingly refers to as “our forever home,” I hope to have enough blueberry bushes planted to give us a good little crop but for now, I’ll just have to be content with store-bought blueberries for making this amazing Blueberry Coffee Cake.

This recipe is one of those that you have to rewrite every so often because the paper gets worn out from making it so much. It’s one that’s been handed down for who knows how long-and for good reason-it always turns out so beautifully. It’s a go to recipe for entertaining as well, I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t adore it. (Even my ten year old who insists he doesn’t like blueberries devours this blueberry coffee cake like it’s his job!)

Ingredients

For the cake:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 pint fresh blueberries (may substitute with 2 cups frozen blueberries but I prefer fresh)
For the Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 by 8 inch baking pan. (I use this spray.)
In a mixer or large bowl combine 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and cream together on medium speed until uniform.
Add egg and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add half the dry mixture into the wet and stir well.
Add the milk and then add the remaining flour mixture.
Mix until just combined, do not overmix.
Fold in blueberries and pour batter in prepared pan.
For the topping combine butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix together thoroughly using hands or a pastry cutter.
Sprinkle crumble topping over the cake batter to cover.
Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or cooled.
