Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 1/4 c. butter, softened (4 Tbsp.)
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. whole milk
  • 3 - 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

Streusel Topping:

  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cold butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
    1/4 c. butter, softened (4 Tbsp.), 2/3 c. sugar
  • Add the egg and mix well.
    1 large egg
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
    1 c. all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Mix to combine.
    1/2 c. whole milk
  • Cut the cream cheese into small cubes. Toss the blueberries with the 2 Tbsp. flour. Stir the cream cheese and blueberries into the creamed mixture. (The batter will be thick.)
    3 - 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed, 1 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen), 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • Spread into a greased 8 or 9" square baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool and store in an airtight container. This coffee cake is best when served at room temperature, however, it must be refrigerated after one day. It also freezes well.

Streusel Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Crumble the butter into the mixture to create fine crumbs.
    2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, 2 Tbsp. sugar, 1 Tbsp. cold butter

Notes

Options: 
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries. However, when using frozen blueberries, DO NOT thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Switch out the blueberries for whatever berries you have on hand, such as blackberries, raspberries, or mulberries.
  • Add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter, for lemon blueberry coffee cake.
  • Double the streusel topping if desired. And you could switch the white sugar for brown.
  • Add sliced almonds or chopped pecans to the streusel for an extra crunch. And a dash of cinnamon also adds extra flavor.
