Blueberry Buckle Coffee Cake (Print)

Buttery blueberry cake topped with cinnamon streusel, ideal for breakfast or as a sweet afternoon treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Blueberry Cake

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
07 - ½ cup whole milk, at room temperature
08 - 2 cups blueberries
09 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)

→ Streusel Topping

10 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
11 - ½ cup granulated sugar
12 - ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
13 - ½ teaspoon cinnamon

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream the granulated sugar and unsalted butter together until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and mix until combined.
04 - Add the dry flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients in alternating additions, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined but do not overmix.
05 - Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and gently fold them into the batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. The batter will be thick.
06 - In a bowl, combine the topping ingredients by cutting the butter into the sugar, flour, and cinnamon with a fork until a crumbly texture forms. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
07 - Bake the cake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Fresh blueberries are ideal for this recipe, as tossing them with flour ensures even distribution in the cake.
02 - If using frozen blueberries, do not defrost them first. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if necessary.
