How to Make Blueberry Crumble Coffee Cake
Crumble Topping
- Melt butter, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars and cinnamon dry ingredients.
- Slowly pour the melted butter in as you stir the mixture with a fork. Start with 3-4 Tablespoons and add more until it looks like crumbles, without mixing too much, as overworking it will make it like a dough. Add in chopped pecans, walnuts or oats for a bit of crunchiness if desired (1/2 cup to 1 cup of each or a combination).
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Blueberry Coffee Cake
- To start, turn the oven on to 375°F and put the oven rack in the middle. Use butter or cooking spray to grease a 9-inch square pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until it is smooth and creamy. This takes about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix together.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating gently.
- Then add the berries and fold in gently, making sure to not over-mix.
- Put the batter in the pan and spread it out evenly. The crumble will need to be broken up, then sprinkle the crumble topping on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until it looks golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when you poke it in. Let it cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving from the pan.
- To enjoy this cake at its freshest, eat it on the same day it’s made. You can save the leftovers for a few days by wrapping wrapping the coffee cake in foil or place in an airtight container at room temperature.
