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!

- 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
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
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.
