Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

CRUMBLE TOPPING
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 c butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 c chopped nuts (optional)
CAKE
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c buttermilk
3 c fresh blueberries (or frozen, but do not thaw!)

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9″ square pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients, mixing together with a fork until crumbly; set aside.
2. In another medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the remaining butter and sugar. Blend in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the flour mixture and cream alternately, beginning and ending with the flour (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour). Fold in the blueberries. (The dough is quite stiff, so be patient as you're folding in the berries! Don't mush them up!)
4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the crumble topping. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool, and cut into 9 large squares.

Tips:

For a sweeter crumb topping, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure your coffee cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the coffee cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the crumb topping set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the coffee cake with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
