Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• For the streusel topping:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries and walnuts (if using).
7. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and streusel.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve the blueberry coffee cake at room temperature. Enjoy!
