Homemade Blueberry Coffee Cake is a favorite for Christmas Brunch in our house but easy enough to make anytime. If you love this recipe you might also like Apple Coffee Cake and Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake.
This Blueberry Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake didn't last long in our house. Colt and the kids all decided they needed 2 pieces for dessert last night and we aren't talking little itty bitty slices. We are talking about full-sized huge slices Colt had cut.

As if Colt hadn't had enough coffee cake he was standing in the kitchen at 2 am eating out of the pan, I may or may not have joined in on a few bites..
I decided to add a cinnamon swirl to the middle of the cake to make sure there was a little bit of cinnamon crumb topping in every bite along with the blueberries.
It doesn't get much better than this my friends.
Mix together:
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cup Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
Add 6 tablespoons Cold Butter, Cubed. If using a mixer mix on low speed until crumbly or cut in using a pastry cutter.
Mixture should form large crumbs when pressed together.
Scrape sides of bowl and add 4 eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Scrape sides of bowl between each addition.
Then add 2 teaspoons Vanilla and mix well. Batter should have a lot of volume at this point.
Mix until well combined and scrape bowl to evenly distribute.
Mixture should form large crumbs when pressed together.
In a large mixing bowl cream 3/4 cup cold Butter. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar while mixing on medium speed.
(The cold butter helps add volume to the batter and holds it's texture better making for a lighter cake.)

Add:
- 1 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
Add 3 cups All-Purpose or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour 1 cup at a time alternating with 1 1/2 cups Sour Cream (1/2 cup at a time.)
I've used both types of flour and you can't tell the difference between the whole wheat pastry flour and all-purpose in this recipe.
Mix on low speed between each addition until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
Once batter is mixed fold in by hand 2 cups Blueberries until evenly distributed.
Butter a 9"x13" pan and line with parchment paper, butter parchment paper.
Spread half the blueberry batter evenly across the bottom on pan. Cover with 1/3 brown sugar cinnamon crumb.
Use a knife to swirl crumb topping into cake batter.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.
Grab your fork and dig in! It's the bomb diggity!

Oh WOW - this looks SO beyond delicious!! It reminds me of a coffeecake my family used to eat at our favorite breakfast spot, which, unfortunately, has cut some corners in recent years and the coffeecake pales in comparison to its former self. I'll have to try this and see how it compares!
Mmmm that crumb looks sooo yummy! Definitely wouldn't mind having this in the morning with my coffee :)
Happy Blogging!

I have yet to bake up anything with blueberries this summer! Bill is hankering for a pie, but I'd much rather make your wonderful coffee cake.
PS. I made your banana cream pie and Bill was in heaven! It was SO good!
Thanks so much Liz! I'm glad that Bill enjoyed the Banana Cream Cheesecake! It's my husbands favorite too!
Thanks so much!
I hope you like it just as much as your favorite breakfast spot! It was a hit in our house!
I love blueberry coffee cake! This looks insanely delicious!
Yum! What an excellent looking coffee cake!
thanks for sharing this great recipe! love the flavour combination.. definitely a recipe i will be trying!
That is dreamy! I love blueberries and I love cinnamon too. This is SO mine!
I love that crumb topping! This cakes looks so moist and delicious!
Boy do I LOVE blueberry cakes! That crumb topping looks so, so good. Sort wish I had some right now!
These look so yummy!
Looks amazing. Can i substitute blueberries for strawberries?
Delicious made it for a bday party and everyone loved it !
I made this several days ago for my boyfriend's work buddies. They all absolutely loved it, and now they're all asking for the recipe! This one's a keeper, thank you. :)
This is in my oven right now. Huge mess to make but I cannot wait to eat it. Already looks and smells delish. Note to self--not even close to fat free. Lol
I finally bought some blueberries going to make this by the weekend, looks yummy!! Thanks
If you like Sugar this one's for you. 2 Cups brown sugar?????? Everyone took one bite and that was all. Maybe I'll try with only 1/2 Brown sugar. Other than that cake tastes OK. No winner.
Made this tonight. Oh my goodness, so very good! My kids couldn't even wait for it to cool down!
I'm so glad your families enjoying it as much as ours does!
Sorry I missed your question! Yes you could try to sub with strawberries you might want to reduce the fruit a little as the strawberries have a tendency to be juicy or Raspberries would work in equal amounts!
Absolutely fabulous! Baked it tonight. Thank you for a great recipe 👏🏻🍰
Could you prepare this the night before and bake it in the morning, do you think?
I would bake it at the time of making it due to the baking soda and powder being activated once mixed with the wet ingredients. It stores really well and could be reheated until warm. I hope that helps! Thanks, Serena
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Salted, if you use unsalted you will need to add more salt.
Ingredients call for 3 tbl all purpose flour & then list another 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon & 6 tbl cold butter. Are these in addition to the first cinnamon & butter listed after the 1 3/4 c. brown sugar?
Hi Lexie! I'm not sure how that happened but that is an error that must have happened during that last update! I will fix it! Thanks, Serena
Hi Serena, do you know if you could substitute almond flour for the regular flour?
Hi! I haven't tried it for cakes yet to know how it effects the crumb. I have used cup for cup flour with good results before. If you end up trying the Almond flour I would love to hear how it goes. Thanks, Serena
I've been baking for my husband for 40 years. I made this tonight and he raved that it was one of the best things I've ever made. It was so good. Thank you!
