Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe with Crumb Topping
This treat is bursting with juicy blueberries nestled in such a delicious cake and topped with an amazing crumb topping. It’s always a favorite when I serve it. I’ve made it for breakfasts, brunches and then we enjoy it for desserts too.
How to Make this Blueberry Coffee Cake
I start by using my Vanilla Cake recipe that I recently shared with you all. It has the best texture and is just the easiest and best vanilla cake I’ve ever made. And for a cake made from scratch, that’s what you definitely want.
I mix up my vanilla cake batter and pour into a 9×13 baking dish that I’ve prepared by either spraying with nonstick baking spray or have buttered and lightly floured. Then, I top the cake batter with fresh blueberries and my crumb topping. Into the oven it goes and bakes until golden brown! YUM!
Once it has baked, I let my blueberry coffee cake rest for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Believe me, this is one coffee cake that everyone loves. It is always a hit when I make it and is perfect for all of those special occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day and and any holiday or weekend!
So, pour yourself of coffee and dig in, because I really think you are going to love, love, love this one!
Here’s my Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe with Crumb Topping. I hope you love it as much as we do!
Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe with Crumb Topping
Ingredients
- 1 vanilla cake
- 2 pint fresh blueberries
For the Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by spraying with nonstick baking spray, brushing with homemade cake pan release, or by buttering and lightly flouring, being sure to shake out any excess flour.
- Prepare the Vanilla Cake Recipe as instructed. Pour the Vanilla Cake batter into the prepared baking dish and top with the blueberries.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and lightly press together the butter with the flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the blueberries.
- Bake until the coffee cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Allow the blueberry coffee cake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Store covered in the refrigerator overnight, if needed.
Notes
While this blueberry coffee cake is best served the day it is prepared, you may keep it in the refrigerator overnight covered tightly with plastic wrap.

Just read other reviews! It’s a coffee time cake – not with coffee as an ingredient – my mistake!
Should there be coffee as an ingredient in the cake?
Hi! Thank you for this recipe! I was wondering is this a vanilla based cake recipe or a coffee base recipe? The ingredients do not include any coffee flavouring?
There’s no coffee in the recipe. It’s a term used to describe a type of cake that’s typically enjoyed with coffee – for brunch or dessert. Hope you enjoy it! xo
OMG… dying. This looks incredible!!! I may make (or request) this for the weekend.
It’s really delicious, Kim! I hope you get to enjoy it soon! xo
I’m allergic to blueberries, no other berries though. What other berry can I substitute for this delicious looking dish without it getting soggy?
Hi Tammi,
You could use apples, cranberries or blackberries! I hope you love it!
What can be used as substitution for the blueberries?
Hi Brenda,
You could use apples, cranberries or blackberries in place of the blueberries in this recipe! I hope you enjoy it!
