Blueberry Banana Coffee Cake
Description
This coffee cake batter is prepared by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then mixing mashed bananas with softened butter and sugar, followed by eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. The dry ingredients are gently folded in, then fresh blueberries are carefully incorporated to avoid breaking them and coloring the batter.
The topping consists of cold cubed butter combined with brown sugar and flour, mixed into crumbs with a pastry blender. The cake is assembled by alternating half the batter and half the crumb topping, repeated to layer the cake with crumbly richness on top and within.
Baking is done at 350°F for about 55 minutes in a large pan, or less time in smaller pans. The result is a moist cake with sweet banana flavor, tender crumb, and juicy blueberry pockets balanced by a buttery streusel topping.
