A moist and tender coffee cake made with sour cream, juicy blueberries, and a buttery cinnamon crumb topping—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1 tbsp for tossing blueberries)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Crumb topping: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crumb topping ingredients—brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and cold butter—until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold into the batter.
  7. Spread half the batter into prepared pan, sprinkle with some crumb topping, then add remaining batter and top with remaining crumb mixture.
  8. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Swap blueberries for raspberries or blackberries for variation.
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for brightness.
  • Mix chopped nuts into crumb topping for extra crunch.
  • Greek yogurt can replace sour cream.
  • Wrap and freeze slices for up to 2 months.
