Sour Cream Blueberry Coffee Cake: A Moist & Magical Morning Treat

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the oven and pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan or a deep 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2: Make the streusel topping
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix the cake batter

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.

3. Mix in sour cream until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

6. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 4: Assemble the cake

1. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.

2. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.

3. Spoon in the remaining batter and smooth the top.

4. Sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top layer.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 6: Cool and serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to help prevent them from sinking.

• Want extra flavor? Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of lemon zest to the batter.

• Leftovers? This cake stays moist for several days and also freezes beautifully—wrap individual slices and freeze for a quick breakfast treat.
