Blueberry Coffee Cake
This coffee cake with blueberries and cream cheese filling is just a new version of my popular recipe for Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. So many of you asked if this recipe could be baked with blueberries instead of raspberries. Although, I made it a few times with blueberries, I never shared the blueberry recipe on my blog. And that’s why I wanted to get it right and finally share it with you.
However, I love coffee cakes. Raspberry, blueberry, apple, with or without cream cheese filling…as long as it has delicious crunchy streusel topping, it’s my favorite coffee cake.
Any kind of coffee cake is magical way to start a day. Cake for breakfast pretty much guarantees a good day! Right?! And coffee cakes are totally acceptable for breakfast. That’s the kind of cake intended to be eaten with morning coffee.
Coffee cake, as an accompaniment for coffee is not overly sweet, but it is very satisfying dessert, as well.
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cake:
This Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake brings all flavors you love, in every single bite: moist and buttery cake, creamy cheesecake filling, juicy blueberries and crunchy streusel topping.
For this easy recipe you’ll need just a few simple ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder salt, vanilla, butter, eggs, sour cream, cream cheese and blueberries, of course.
To make the cake beat softened butter and sugar, then mix in eggs, add dry ingredients and sour cream alternately and combine well. Finally, spread batter in prepared pan.
For cream cheese layer, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, hint of vanilla and egg white. Spread over cake layer, scatter blueberries on top and make the streusel crumbs.
For streusel, with a fork whisk sugar and flour, then cut in cold butter to make the mixture looks like pea sized crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs over blueberries and bake about 45 minutes. You can enjoy it warm from the oven or straight out of the refrigerator. It also freezes well, too!

Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- To make the filling: Mix together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium-low speed until creamy. Add egg white and mix on low just to combine. Set aside.
- To make the cake batter: In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.

- Sprinkle the streusel on top of blueberries and bake for 40-45 minutes until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. If it starts browning too much, tent the top with aluminum foil.

Love your blueberry coffee cakes. My hubby has been making them and they are awesome. My favorite are the lemon blueberry blueberry cream cheese.
Where is the coffee in the recipe?
Hi Roma, there’s no coffee in the cake, this is the kind of cake intended to be eaten with coffee.
1 1/4 cup of blueberries! Not in printed recipe!
Should the recipe read 1 hour 45 min? It was most certainly not done after 45. It does look like a beautiful cake. I look forward to tasting it later today.
Should I bake for the 45minutes or longer like Deanne suggested
Came out perfect, thank you for sharing your recipe with us 😀

Can you use a differnt pan for this recipe?..pie pan?…or square
Hi Amanda, this cake will overflow 9-inch pie pan, but you can use a square-pan
I’m going to make this today! I don’t need it until tomorrows dinner, but how do you store it when finished for next day?
Hi Amanda, cover and store in a fridge, bring to a room temperature before serving.
I made this today and found it needed closer to an hour if not longer to cook all the way through. It was not even close at 40 minutes. I kept it in (pulling it out to check it occasionally) for about an hour.
