Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe

Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe is a sweet vanilla blueberry cake topped with a generous layer of crumb topping. Great for breakfast or for dessert!

It’s hard not to love fresh berries in the summer.

They’re delicious by the handful or baked into all sorts of treats – like Blueberry Coffee Cake.

This blueberry coffee cake is a sweet blueberry vanilla cake topped with a generous layer of crumb topping. I sprinkle on a little powdered sugar, but you could drizzle a simple glaze over the top if you prefer.

One note – the blueberries sink to the bottom of this coffee cake and form a nice sweet layer along the bottom, which I like. If you want the keep the berries from sinking, toss them with a tablespoon or so of flour before you fold the blueberries into the batter.
