Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
For the Streusel Topping:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preparing the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan generously.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract, then incorporate the eggs one at a time.
- Gently stir in the sour cream until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter in half. Pour one half into the prepared bundt pan and gently spread it out evenly.
- Create a well in the center of the batter.
Making the Streusel Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well incorporated.
Assembling the Cake:
- Fill the well in the batter with the prepared streusel topping.
- Scatter half of the blueberries evenly over the streusel.
- Pour the remaining batter over the blueberry layer and gently spread it out.
- Top with the remaining blueberries.
Baking the Cake:
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Use ripe blueberries for maximum flavor.
- For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Enhance the cake's aroma by adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle the cooled cake with a lemon glaze or a cream cheese frosting.
- To prevent sticking, line the bundt pan with parchment paper before greasing.
- For a deeper flavor, toast the blueberries in a skillet before adding them to the cake.
Enjoy this delectable coffee cake and savor every moment of its delightful taste!
