Instructions
Crumb Topping:
- Using a fork or mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, (optional: vanilla paste), and melted butter.
- Mix until it is crumbly and sandy looking. Set aside for later.
For the Coffee Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350-degrees. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan, set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (This is also the time to add the lemon zest if you are making Lemon + Blueberry Coffee Cake.)
- Add the eggs, one at a time.
- Add the vanilla.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter/sugar/egg mixture.
- Mix until just combined being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Pour batter into your prepared pan and level it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle crumb topping over it.
- Bake at 350-degrees for 30 minutes. Rotate your pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the crumb is golden and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool a little while you make the drizzle for the top.
For the Drizzle:
- Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk (or lemon juice) until smooth.
- Drizzle over the warm coffee cake.
- Enjoy!
