Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp softened butter
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup blueberries

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350ºF. For the streusel, work the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until the mixture is evenly sandy and clumpy. Put it aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix the coffee cake’s flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the white sugar with the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, then stir only until you have a thick, airy batter, since overmixing will make it less tender.
3. Mist an 8x8 inch baking dish, or a comparable pan, with nonstick spray. Spoon in the batter and smooth it across the dish. Scatter the blueberries on the surface, then use your fingers to nudge them into the batter. Cover the top with the streusel.
4. Transfer the cake to the 350ºF oven once it is fully heated. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
