Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This cake is loaded with blueberries, has a tender moist crumb, and a delicious crunchy streusel on top!! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner 😉 (inside joke)

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups ap flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 cup sour cream (room temperature)
3/4 cup sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 lemon (zested + 1 TBSP juice)

STREUSEL:
3/4 cup ap flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 TBSP cold, unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grab a 9 inch square dish (or circular) and place parchment paper inside. Lightly grease the paper with butter.

Rinse and clean your blueberries. Set them in a small bowl.

Streusel:
Add flour and brown sugar to a small bowl. Whisk together. Add butter pieces and toss to coat. Cut in butter using your hands or a pastry cutter. After a few minutes, mixture should resemble coarse crumbs. Grab large handfuls of mixture and squeeze it, breaking off large chunks of streusel. Store in the fridge.

For the Cake:
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar til light and fluffy. Add lemon zest, juice, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix til homogenous. Scrape the bowl.

In a separate bowl, sift together four, baking powder, soda, and salt. Whisk together. Add 2 TBSP of this flour mixture to the blueberries. Toss with your hands to coat them. Set the floured blueberries aside.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Using a mixer, on a low speed setting, mix the batter until ALMOST combined. Add the coated blueberries. Fold in with a spatula. (Be careful not to pop them!)

Spread batter in prepared dish. Sprinkle streusel over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 50-55 minutes. Cover with tin foil after 30 minutes if the streusel is getting too brown.

Insert a toothpick to see if your cake is done. (Try to avoid sticking it in the blueberries. It might take a few tries.)

Allow to cool completely. Cut and serve! Store for up to 5 days at room temperature.
