This Blueberry Crumble Coffee Cake is a delicious option to make when fresh blueberries are in abundance. It's the perfect side-kick for a cup of coffee or hot tea. The buttery golden crumb topping is the crowning touch to the light lemon flavor of the batter. To say it's delicious is an understatement. It's amazing.
Blueberry Crumble Coffee Cake
I'm convinced that coffee cake was created just so we could enjoy cake for breakfast. I can remember my Mom making crumb topped coffee cake when I was little. In my mind, it seemed like a very grown-up thing to do, sipping a hot steamy beverage whilst enjoying a piece of coffee cake. Needless to say, I have now lived that dream and I can confirm coffee cake does indeed taste better with a cup of hot tea or coffee along with some girlfriend chatter, of course.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
I made this cake with fresh blueberries but, frozen will work in a pinch. Serve it warm, room temperature or chilled for breakfast, brunch or as dessert. It's a berry-filled sweet indulgent treat. You may also enjoy this recipe for Jumbo Blueberry Muffins from Sweet C's.

Great recipe, a keeper! Did’nt have buttermilk so used 2% with a bit of vinegar and substituted cut up strawberries instead.

I made This Blueberry Coffee Cake yesterday. There were rave reviews from all.
The blueberries I used Were frozen, from fresh, with no discernable difference.
I also used your fix for self rising flour, we have none here in Central Pa.
