Blueberry Coffee Cake
Description
Blueberry Coffee Cake combines a classic coffee cake batter with fresh blueberries and a brown sugar crumble streusel. The batter is leavened with baking powder and lightly spiced with cinnamon in the topping. Cornstarch coating on the blueberries helps keep them suspended in the cake while baking. The result is a moist and tender coffee cake with bursts of soft, juicy berries throughout and a sweet, slightly crunchy topping from the brown sugar mixture.
The cake is baked in a 9-inch springform pan, layering batter and berries to create pockets of fruit. The crumble topping adds texture and a touch of cinnamon warmth to balance the sweetness. It can be enjoyed fresh or slightly cooled, making it a comforting choice for breakfast or a snack alongside coffee or tea.
