Description
A simple recipe for a moist coffee cake with a sweet blueberry filling and a crumb topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Cut in the 1/4 cup cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- You can substitute fresh or frozen raspberries for the blueberries.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
