Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake

Writer's picture: Laurie HarrisLaurie Harris

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter. An 8x8 square pan would also work, but make sure to line it with parchment paper with overhang.

  • Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the cold butter cubes, and using a pastry blender or a fork, cut the butter into the mixture until you get small pea-size crumbles. Place prepared topping in refrigerator while you make the cake batter.

  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, cream 6 tablespoons softened butter, sugar, and lemon zest using an electric or stand mixer. Add the eggs, one by one, and beat until smooth. With a hand whisk, mix in Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.

  • Using a rubber spatula, fold in the dry ingredients to the mixture, and mix until just combined.

  • Gently fold in the blueberries to the batter. Try not to burst them.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Even out with the rubber spatula. Top with the streusel topping. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes.

  • Make the lemon glaze: while cake is cooling, make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar with lemon juice until a thin (but not watery) glaze forms.

  • Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, drizzle with the lemon glaze. Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!
