Blueberry Coffee Cake
Blueberry Coffee Cake features a tender, vanilla-scented crumb filled with fresh blueberries coated in cornstarch to prevent sinking. A brown sugar crumble topping adds a crisp, cinnamon-spiced contrast. The cake layers the batter and berries in a springform pan, baking to a moist texture studded with juicy fruit and a sweet, crunchy topping ideal for breakfast or afternoon tea.
