Here’s a Sour Cream Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe that’s moist, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat with your coffee!
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, but thawed and drained)
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
2. Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- Add the softened butter and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.
3. Make the Cake Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the vanilla extract with the second egg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them up too much.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter.
5. Bake:
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the cake with aluminum foil and continue baking.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve as is, or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness.
This Sour Cream Blueberry Coffee Cake is rich and moist with bursts of juicy blueberries and a sweet, cinnamon-streusel topping. Perfect for a morning treat or an afternoon snack! Enjoy!
