Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake
Description
The Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake starts with a streusel topping of flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon that forms a sweet, spiced crumb. The cake batter combines all-purpose flour with baking powder and baking soda for lift, balanced with salt and sugar. Eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter create a moist, tender crumb and rich flavor. Fresh or frozen blueberries are folded into the batter before pouring into a greased dish. Blueberries are distributed on top and gently pressed into the batter before sprinkling the streusel layering for a mix of textures.
In baking, the streusel becomes golden and crisp while the cake bakes through with a fluffy inside. The buttermilk contributes to the slight tang and moistness. The result is a balance of soft cake with bursts of blueberry juiciness and a cinnamon-scented crunchy topping.
Serve this coffee cake warm or at room temperature for breakfast or dessert. It pairs well with coffee, tea, or milk. Cut into eight pieces making it suitable for sharing or preparing ahead for gatherings.
Ingredients
STREUSEL TOPPING
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour $0.04
- 1/4 cup brown sugar $0.16
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.18, softened
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
COFFEE CAKE
- 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.33
- 1 Tbsp baking powder $0.24
- 3/4 tsp baking soda $0.02
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.01
- 1/2 cup white sugar $0.16
- 2 egg $0.55, large
- 1 cup buttermilk $0.60
- 1/4 cup butter $0.36, melted
- 1/2 cup blueberries $0.60, frozen or fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the streusel topping (flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon) until they create a uniform, crumbly topping. Set the topping aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the coffee cake batter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the white sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir just until a thick, fluffy batter forms (do not over stir).
- Coat an 8x8 inch baking dish (or similar size) with nonstick spray. Spread the batter into the dish. Sprinkle the blueberries over top, then push them down into the batter with your fingers. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the top.
- Bake the coffee cake in the fully preheated 350ºF oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Slice into eight pieces, then serve.
