How To Make This Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe

Whip up the simple batter to make this coffee cake before spreading the batter in a pan, topping it with the crumb topping, and baking.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, add one tablespoon of flour to the blueberries and gently stir to coat them. Set aside.

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, whisk together the two cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisking will remove any lumps in the flour. Set the mixing bowl aside.

STEP THREE: In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the sugar, ¼ cup butter, and egg on medium-high speed for one to two minutes.

Add the milk and mix on low speed until smooth, one to two minutes. 

STEP FOUR: Add the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed.

STEP FIVE: Gently stir the flour-coated blueberries into the cake batter.

STEP SIX: Spread the mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch square pan sprayed with nonstick spray.

STEP SEVEN: In a small bowl, mix together with a fork the topping ingredients of brown sugar, three tablespoons flour, three tablespoons of butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the batter. 

STEP EIGHT: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the cake tester comes out with just a few crumbs on it.

Let it sit in the baking dish for ten minutes before serving.
