This recipe for Blueberry Coffee Cake is so moist, fluffy. Packed with bursting blueberries and the perfect cinnamon streusel topping, this is a recipe everyone will love. 

It’s Friday, we’ve almost made it through week 5 of this COVID quarantine! I’ve gone through all the feels and moods, one thing I am constantly telling myself is that ‘this to shall pass.’ My love for cooking is one thing that has really kept me sane it been a stress relief and just something positive I could put my mind into. On Thursday morning I woke up damned to have a piece of coffee cake and blueberries because my fruit cravings these days are intense!

Determined not to mess this recipe up because flour is so hard to come by right now. You literally have to be the first 5 people in line when markets open or you’re out of luck! Luckily I haven’t run out yet! This Blueberry Coffee Cake was one of the best uses of flour I’ve had in a long time. 

How to make Blueberry Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line or grease an 8-inch square baking pan. 
  2. Add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl, stir and combine. 
  3. Pour in your milk, and add your egg and softened butter. Beat the butter together till combined, the batter is supposed to be very thick, so you’re doing right. 
  4. Gently stir in your blueberries until evenly incorporated. Careful not to burst all the blueberries if you’re using fresh blueberries. 
  5. Pour your batter into your prepared pan, you may need to use your hands to flatten it out. 
  6. For the topping: Combine the flour, sugars, butter, salt, and cinnamon with a fork or a pastry cutter. You want it crumbly. Pour over your batter. 
  7. Bake until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with mascarpone or butter. On its own, it is great too. Enjoy!

  1. Hi Kay, in the toppings ingredients it calls for butter, however in the directions for the topping it just says to combine the sugars and cinnamon together. Is this just a typo?

  2. This recipe needs a lot of work. Salt is in the instructions but not in the ingredients. Baking soda in one place, baking powder in another. Butter added after all other ingredients? Shouldn’t it be creamed with the sugar? Luckily I was planning to use leftover crumb topping from another recipe so I didn’t have to deal with any mistakes there.
    Sorry I started this. Hopefully I got everything right and it tastes okay.
