Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries washed and drained

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
  • In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a whisk or electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. This incorporates air into the batter, helping the cake rise.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being cautious not to break them to avoid discoloring the batter.

Make the Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. This will create a sweet, crunchy topping for the cake.

Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Serve

  • Slice the cooled coffee cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

For best results, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
