Blueberry Coffee Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk of choice
2 cups fresh blueberries (can use frozen blueberries, do not thaw)
Instructions
Melt butter, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugars, and cinnamon.
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 over-mixing.
Add chopped pecans, walnuts, or oats for crunchiness if desired.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and 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 smooth and creamy for about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Add the vanilla extract and mix together.
Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating gently.
Fold in the blueberries gently.
Put the batter in the pan and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping on top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, enjoy the cake on the same day it’s made.
