Blueberry Swirl Coffee Cake Recipes

BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE (AKA BLUEBERRY BOY BAIT)

Steps:

• Make the streusel topping: Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers, mix until no lumps of brown sugar remain. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it reaches a crumbly state. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch square pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine. Add the berries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not over-mix.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack for about 20 minutes, then serve right from the pan.
• This cake is best served on the day it is made. Leftovers will keep well for a few days wrapped in foil and stored at room temperature.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

BLUEBERRY SWIRL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Wash the blueberries in a large colander then place them in a large pot of boiling water. Once the water returns to a boil, immediately turn off the heat.
• Remove the blueberries with a slotted spoon, placing them in a bowl covered with a clean kitchen towel to stay warm. Alternatively, you can run the blanched blueberries through the same colander to drain the juices, then place in a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• In a large saute or sauce pan, combine the granulated sugar, Clear Jel, water, and lemon juice, stirring constantly over medium heat until the granulated sugar and Clear Jel dissolves.
• Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and turns into the clear-like gel filling, about 7-8 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then add in the blanched blueberries, stirring until fully mixed.
• Place the blueberry filling in a medium-size bowl (preferably glass) to cool completely before using in the coffee cake. If not using right away, still cool completely, then place in a tightly sealed container, and refrigerate it for up to a week.
• Adjust your oven to the 2nd level position (just above center) and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Generously spray a 13 inch x 9 inch baking pan with a flour-based baking spray. You may wish to also add a parchment paper sleeve to the pan as well. If adding, lightly respray the top before adding the batter.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set to the side.
• Using your hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the unsalted butter and vegetable shortening on medium-high speed until well smooth and creamy.
• Add in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then add in the eggs.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low, gradually adding in the whisked dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter.
• Spread 2/3 of the batter into the bottom of the prepared 13 inch x 9 inch baking pan, reserving the rest for the topping.
• Top with the homemade blueberry pie filling, then drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the top.
• Place in the oven and bake for 43-45 minutes at 350ºF or until the top is a light golden brown.
• While the coffee cake is still warm, drizzle with the simple glaze.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk.
• Drizzle over the warm blueberry swirl coffee cake, cut into squares, and enjoy!

BLUEBERRY-CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Spray an 8-by-8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line the pan with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over two sides.
• Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and squish it together with your fingertips until it's evenly moistened, and pebble-size crumbs form.
• Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside.
• Make the cake: In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in one egg completely before adding the next. Add the sour cream, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, and beat to combine.
• Stop the mixer and add the 1 1/2 cups/195 grams flour, the baking powder and baking soda; mix on low speed until just combined. Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
• Assemble the cake: Spoon half the batter into the pan and smooth it to cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the batter. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the top and gently smooth it to cover the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the top.
• Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes until puffed and golden, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store the cake loosely wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
