When you get tired of making the pies, jams, this is an easy and fresh way to put those summer blueberries to use.

Topping
1/3 cup (2 ounces) sugar
1/2 cup (2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine

Batter
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick, 2 ounces) butter or margarine
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (4 ounces) milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, well drained

First: Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Making the Topping: Mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut or rub in the butter or margarine with the side of a fork, two knives or your finger tips until it reaches a crumbly state. Set aside.

Making the Batter: Blend the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium sized mixing bowl. In a large bowl cream together the sugar, butter or margarine, egg and vanilla. Alternately add the milk and the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, ending with flour. Stir only enough to blend. Fold in the blueberries.

Assembling & Baking: Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured, 9-inch cake pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester or knife comes out clean.

Let the buckle cool for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a knife or spatula. Holding the cake pan in your left hand, gently tip the cake out onto your right hand, remove the pan, and gently right the cake onto a serving dish.

  • Made this recipe for the first time yesterday and I would only give my results 3 stars but I changed so many things it would not be fair to blame the recipe! I made 1.5x the recipe (dangerous business on a good day, unless you have half of an egg lying around. As it happens I get farm fresh eggs from a friend so I used 2 small ones) Also I had it in my head that I wanted to make muffins instead of a cake. So it may be that the additional handling of the batter to get them into muffin tins instead of a cake pan, combined with a little extra egg, made the final result a little dense and characterless. For the topping I used my go-to streusel: KA cinnamon filling mix, butter, a little extra brown sugar & flour, and crushed Quaker oat squares...so that part was really yummy. Eating one now...seems like it needs salt? The next one I will throw into the toaster oven for a few minutes and then slather it with butter. That should help! Will try this again in blueberry season...this time I am less than impressed. My advice : even if you have good instincts as I do, start by following the recipe! LOL

  • I made this in a bundt pan for a brunch at my Mother-in-law's house. The coffee cake didn't even last 10 minutes on the counter! It was a huge hit and will be one to share time and time again.

  • This is the best coffee cake I've ever had! The book said to bake 45-50 minutes, so I did 48 and it turned out perfectly. Absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be making it again and again!

  • I have made this twice, and each time the middle of the cake was still like batter after 45 min. I had to cook it at least 10 min. more. I had used a 9 inch square pyrex dish so that may have been why it took longer.

  • I've done this one twice, and my wife--who really hates baking--actually even gave it a successful go. Tastes great, and reminds me of something you'd get for breakfast at a really nice B&B.
