blueberry coffee cake

The last time Davis was at my house he commented on the copious amounts of frozen blueberries I had in my freezer. So yesterday, in an attempt to put a dent in my blueberry stock, I whipped up this coffee cake. I winged the recipe, but it ended up being really moist and tasty.

streusel topping

5 tbsp salted butter

1/4 C sugar

1/3 C brown sugar

1/3 C flour

1/2 C quick cook oats

1. Using a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and pulse until it forms crumbs and holds together when pressed. Refrigerate until ready to use.

1/2 tsp baking soda

2/3 C sugar

zest of 1 lemon

1/2 stick salted butter, room temperature

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/3 C milk

1/4 C sour cream

1. Butter an 8-inch round baking tin.

2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and baking powder.

3. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, lemon zest and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each, until combined. Add vanilla and combine again.

4. With the mixer on low add the 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the milk, another 1/3 of flour mixture, then sour cream, then the last 1/3 of flour. Mix until just combined.

5. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Top with streusel topping. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
