Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake
Description
The cake begins by cooking fresh blueberries with sugar and cornstarch until thickened, providing a juicy, slightly tart component. Separately, butter and sugar are creamed until fluffy, and eggs are added one at a time to build structure and moisture. The dry ingredients, including flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon, are alternately mixed with sour cream to maintain crumb tenderness. Almond extract enhances the flavor profile.
The batter is layered in a greased tube or bundt pan with the blueberry filling, swirling gently to create a marbled effect. Baking for about 50 minutes produces a golden cake with a moist crumb and tender texture surrounding pockets of blueberry filling.
Once cooled slightly, the cake is topped with a smooth glaze made from powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk thinned to desired consistency. Drizzling the glaze adds sweetness and a slight crunch upon drying, complementing the soft cake and juicy berries.
