Blueberry Coffee Cake
Description
Blueberry Coffee Cake is made with a sweetened butter and sugar base that is enriched by eggs and vanilla for moisture and flavor. The dry ingredients, including flour and baking powder, are alternated with milk to create a batter with balanced density. Blueberries are gently folded into the mixture to distribute through the cake without breaking. The batter is spread into a greased 6-inch pan for even baking.
The streusel topping is prepared by shredding very cold butter into a mixture of brown sugar and flour. This coarse mixture is spread evenly over the cake batter before baking at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The streusel forms a contrasting crunchy layer over the soft cake, complementing the juicy bursts of blueberry inside.
This cake works well for breakfast or a teatime treat. Its moist texture with a crumbly topping highlights the fresh blueberries. The cake should cool before slicing to set the crumb and topping properly.
