Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Eunice Sawatzky PHOTO BY: GodivaGirl

"My sister-in-law made this coffee cake with the fresh blueberries we picked while our families were vacationing at her cottage one summer. I've used frozen berries at home with wonderful results. Each time I bake this bread, we're reminded of fun times."

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan.
For topping, combine sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.

Scaled recipe in half and ued an 8 x8 glass dish. I used frozen blueberries and mixed them with a small amount of flour before adding to batter so as not to break the blueberries. I also reduced to temp to 350 for 40 mins. This smelled delicious coming out of the oven. VERY, VERY GOOD! Not a dense coffee cake but very light. Will definately be making this again soon!

I had to throw it out! I should've trusted my instinct when I questioned the 2 tablespoons of baking powder. It left a bitter taste. I think maybe the recipe should have read teaspooons.

This was an EXCELLENT coffee cake. Made as is with no changes- except adding another handfull of berries to the top of the cake before sprinkling topping. It just made it look prettier. This won't disappoint. :)
