Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is a soft and moist cake with layered blueberry batter, rich cream cheese filling, and a sweet crumble topping. This coffee cake is easy to slice and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. I like to add a dusting of confectioners’ sugar to add the finishing touch to this delicious treat!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (444 g) fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Filling

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

Garnish

  • confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the blueberries. Set aside.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a separate medium bowl, use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese, brown sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

Assembly

  • Pour half of the blueberry batter into the prepared springform pan, gently spreading it evenly.
  • Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter in an even layer. Top with the remaining blueberry batter, smoothing the surface. Set aside.

Crumble

  • In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
  • Add the cold butter pieces and use your hands to work the mixture into pea-sized crumbles.
  • Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter.
  • Bake for 65-70 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. If the cake is starting to brown, cover it loosely with foil.
  • Remove from the oven. Let the coffee cake cool for 10 minutes. Then, release the springform pan to prevent the sides from sticking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
  • When ready to serve, dust with confectioners' sugar.
