Tools to have on hand for this recipe:

Serve sliced cake with an ice cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for absolute perfection. In my opinion, this cake tastes best served at room temperature, but you can also pop it in the toaster oven or microwave to warm it up if you’d like.

Not only is this cake perfect for a sweet breakfast, it also makes a great dessert. Just top with an ice cold scoop of vanilla ice cream! Coffee cake is also great to serve at parties or to bring into the office for your coworkers and more.

You’ll need to set aside about an hour of time to finish this cake from start to finish. This recipe will give you about 9 small slices or 6 large slices.

How to make Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line an 8″ x 8″ baking dish with parchment paper.

For the cake: In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sour cream and vegetable oil. Pour mixture into dry ingredients and mix to combine. Very gently fold in blueberries.

For the chocolate ribbon: Mix cocoa powder, cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl.

For the streusel topping: Add cut cold butter, brown sugar and flour to another bowl. Using your fingers or a fork, mix until you have a nice coarse crumbly mixture. Do not over mix.

Layer the cake: Pour half the cake mixture into the bottom of the baking dish sprinkle top with cocoa ribbon, then pour remaining of the cake mixture on top of the cocoa ribbon. Sprinkle top with streusel topping.

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick runs through the cake and comes out clean.
