The Best Blueberry Coffee Cake
Listen up, my fellow food enthusiasts, caffeine addicts, and unapologetic cake-for-breakfast eatersโthis Blueberry Coffee Cake is about to become your new obsession. Itโs soft, buttery, packed with juicy blueberries, and crowned with a streusel topping so good it might just make you question all your life choices up until now.

Key Ingredients That Make This Cake Shine
- Butter & Sugar: The dynamic duo that creates a rich, tender crumb.
- Vanilla & Cinnamon: A little warmth and depth to balance the sweetness.
- Blueberries: The juicy pop of flavor that makes this cake irresistible.
- Crumb Topping: Because every good coffee cake needs a golden, buttery crunch.
How to Make Blueberry Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350ยฐ Fahrenheit.
- Make the crumb topping by pulsing brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, oats, and cold butter in a food processor until crumbly. Set aside.

- Prepare the batter by creaming softened butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, then add vanilla.
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Beat until just combined.
- Assemble the cake by spreading โ of the batter into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle โ of the crumb topping over the batter. Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries on top, followed by the remaining batter. Finish with the rest of the crumb topping.






- Bake for 65 – 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the pan.

Pro Tips for a Blueberry-Fueled Breakfast Win
- Toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter to keep them from sinking.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, itโs best to thaw them first. Be warnedโfrozen blueberries release a lot of liquid as they thaw, and that deep blue juice will turn everything in its path into a Smurf-hued mess. Drain them well and pat them dry with paper towels before folding them into the batter to avoid streaky, discolored cake.
- Donโt overmix the batter. Overworking the batter leads to a dense, rubbery cake.
Storage & Serving Hacks
- Leftovers? Store at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Reheat for that fresh-baked taste. A quick zap in the microwave works wonders, though this cake is just as delicious at room temperature.
- Freeze It: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
