Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe (2024)

Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe makes 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 blueberries in the summer.

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

This blueberry crumb 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 of the streusel topping 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.

Ingredient tips and substitutions

• Brown sugar: Dark brown sugar could also be used.
• Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the topping and increase the salt in the cake portion to 1/2 teaspoon.
• Greek yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt or full-fat sour cream could also be used. I don’t recommend using fat-free sour cream in this recipe.
• Blueberries: I use fresh blueberries in this recipe.
