After trying several different combinations, I have finally created the best blueberry coffee cake recipe ever. This cake is so moist, with tidbits of sweet crunch from the streusel, and a layer of gooey blueberry goodness. You can bake this recipe in a cake pan, a loaf pan, or in a muffin pan (cooking time will vary). TIPS: I use a loaf pan. Fresh blueberries can be used as well. It will seem like the batter is not enough, but it will bake perfectly. Also, if the batter is a little thick, just add a little more milk. I am sure this recipe will also work with other flavor berries.
Ingredients:
STREUSEL
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1/4 c all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1 tsp cinnamon
CAKE
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour, sifted
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c white sugar
1/3 c butter, melted
1/2 c milk, or buttermilk, or soy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c blueberries, frozen
Instructions:
Grease and flour a loaf or cake pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
For the topping, in a small mixing bowl, combine streusel ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat half the blueberries and 1 tsp of sugar over medium heat. Occasionally mash the berries. Heat until berries turn into a slightly thick syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, sift flour with baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, mix together beaten egg and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and mix well.
Pour 1/2 the batter into a greased and floured pan. Sprinkle with remaining blueberries and half the streusel topping.
Then top with remaining batter. Using a spoon, drizzle the blueberry syrup over the top, and gently swirl with a toothpick to slightly mix in. Top with remaining streusel.
Bake at 375° for 35 to 45 minutes, or until cake tests done. Partially cool in pan on wire rack.
Cut coffee cake and serve.
