How to Make Coffee Cake
Step By Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg and ½ cup milk.
- Combine flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
- Carefully blend blueberries.
- Pour batter into a baking pan. Dough will be more like dough rather than than cake batter.
- Prepare streusel mixture in a small bowl.Top the entire cake batter with streusel.

Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts
- I use salted butter, but you can if you use unsalted, add ½ teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
- Use softened butter for easy blending of the coffee cake, but use cold butter for the topping for best results.
- You can use a fork in the place of a pastry cutter. It takes a little longer but it works. Sometimes I use two forks together,
Variations, Notes, and Substitutions
- You can substitute cranberries for the blueberries to change up the coffee cake.
Serving and Storage Suggestions
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.

I just recently made something similar to this! Blueberry Buckle! Yes ... really good! Loved it and hubby finished it last night! I still have blueberries and I am looking for something else to make with them... muffins done already too! ... my girls don't like pancakes so... that's out of the question and oatmeal is not popular here... I'll see what I make! 😉 Found you on SITS!
