Description
This moist, retro blueberry coffee cake recipe from grandma has been passed down for at least 60 years.
Ingredients
•
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 large egg
•
1/2 cup milk
•
2 cups frozen blueberries
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.
2
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.
4
Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
