Blueberry Streusel Coffeecake
Serves
Makes about 12 to 16 servings
Ingredients
  • Streusel:
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter


  • For the cake:
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Procedure


Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9" round cake pan. If you use a round pan, make sure it’s at least 2" deep.

To make the topping: Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Cut or rub in the butter with the side of a fork, two knives or your fingertips until it reaches a crumbly state. Set aside.

Blend the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla.

Alternately add the milk and the flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture, ending with flour. Add blueberries. Stir only enough to blend.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.

Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven, and set it on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve right from the pan. Or, to transfer to a serving plate, loosen the sides with a knife or spatula. Holding the pan in your left hand, gently tip the cake out onto your right hand, remove the pan, and gently right the cake onto a serving dish.
