Blueberry Coffee Cake
Description
Combining softened butter, milk, eggs, and sugar creates a creamy batter enriched with flour, baking powder, and salt. Tossing fresh blueberries with flour prevents sinking during baking. The crowning crumble made of melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon adds texture and warm spice notes.
After baking at moderate heat until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, the cake is allowed to cool before glazing. The glaze, consisting of powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, lends subtle sweetness and a smooth coating that balances the crumble's crunch and berries' juiciness.
The resulting cake is suitable for slicing and serving as morning or afternoon treats. Leftover slices can be stored cooled and reheated gently to refresh the crumb. This cake brings together fresh fruit, cinnamon sweetness, and a tender crumb in one dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups blueberries more if you want to serve the cake with a few blueberries on the side washed and drained on paper towels, fresh
CRUMBLE TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cups flour
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
SWEET GLAZE:
- 1 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter, milk, egg, and sugar, and blend with the whisk attachment until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, blend the flour, baking powder and salt, until well mixed. Add to the mixer, and blend until smooth and creamy. Remove the mixing bowl from the mixer. Sprinkle a little flour over the blueberries, and toss to coat (this keeps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake while baking).
- Line a 9 X 9 inch dish with parchment paper, and pour the cake batter into the dish. Mix the Crumble Topping - melted butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl, and sprinkle on top of the cake batter. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When the cake is done baking, remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool.
- When cake has completely cooled, make the glaze; in a medium size bowl add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, and blend until smooth and creamy. Generously drizzle glaze over the cake, while cake is still in the dish, using all the glaze.
- When ready to serve, cut the cake in 2 X 3 inch squares, sprinkle a few blueberries on the side, and serve. Enjoy!
