Blueberry Coffeecake – Sour cream coffeecake with a blueberry cheesecake layer and topped with a cinnamon streusel.
Blueberry Coffeecake
So, one more blueberry recipe for you this week. It’s a blueberry coffeecake with a cream cheese filling with blueberries and a streusel topping with cinnamon. It’s not too sweet but very moist, perfect for break time or breakfast.
The sour cream in the batter makes the cake part of this super moist. Adding in the blueberries and the cream cheese topping makes this coffeecake perfection!
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe, just don’t thaw the frozen ones first if you are using them.
Some tips for making a better baking
1. Use the best ingredients you can.
2. Have everything at the temperature the recipe tells you to.
3. When you recipe contains flour do you know that you need to fluff it first. The most accurate way to measure anything is by weight, but we usually don’t bake that way in home kitchen. The next time you go to measure flour give it a stir and fluff it up before you dip that cup in.
4. Make sure you oven is at the correct temperature. If you find when you bake you are consistently not close to the times the recipe recommends I would buy an over thermometer to be sure my oven is at the correct temp when you bake.
When buying blueberries look for berries that are plump, firm, dry and uniform in size. Avoid blueberries that are soft or mushy. Blueberries have a silverfish sheen to them that is a natural waxy coating to protect them. If you see stains on the container it means the fruit may be bruised. Berries that have a red tint to them are not ripe but you can cook with them just fine.

Thanks Colleen I appreciate the feedback! I enjoyed that recipe also, so glad blueberry season is here.
This is a lovely recipe, I just wanted to let you know that you have 1/2 cup of milk listed in the cake portion of the recipe but you haven’t included what to do with it in the instructions. Thought you’d like to know.
Fixed the instructions, thanks for letting me know.
Salted or unsalted butter
I still see the milk ingredient but I don’t see what to do with it. Can you tell me is it in the coffee cake or do I omit it?
Thanks
It goes in with the sour cream.
I use salted butter.
I just joined the link at Home and Lifestyle Design and wanted to visit the blog before me as I’m last in line. Nice to meet you and your recipe sounds absolutely delicious!

Thanks Connie!
hi the cake looks awesome was just wondering isn’t half cup sugar
a little less for that quantity of flour?
If you want to use less sugar, I wouldn’t go below a third of a cup and no more than 3/4 of a cup or it will be overly sweet. You have sugar in the other parts of this too. It is sweet as it is without being too sweet. Hope that helps.
Since there is a blueberry cheesecake layer over the coffee cake, does it need to be refrigerated? Just made it today and it is delicious!
