Instructions
Getting Ready
Preheat the oven to 350 F and position a rack in the center of the oven.
Spray a 9x9 baking pan with non-stick spray or brush it lightly with softened butter.
Streusel
In a bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Add the melted butter, and stir until moist and crumbly. Set aside.
Cake
In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, vanilla, melted butter/oil and egg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir everything together with a spatula, into a thick batter. When the batter is mostly combined, but there are still a few floury streaks, fold in the blueberries.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the streusel topping, breaking up the bigger crumbles into smaller ones so it's evenly distributed.
Bake on the center oven rack for about 45 minutes, until a cake tester in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
This coffee cake is just as good leftover as it is baked fresh! Bake it the night before to make the next morning easier, and just rewarm slices for 15-20 seconds in the microwave for that soft, warm, just-baked texture.Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.This recipe can also be doubled, and baked in a 9x13 pan. Bake for a little longer and test the center for doneness.
