Blueberry cream cheese coffee cake is soft and moist with a buttery sour cream crust and a streusel topping. Add in the cream cheese filling with some fresh blueberries and you have your new favorite coffee cake for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Introduction and My Rating

This very special cream cheese coffee cake is much better than you will pick up the local bakery.

Think of this as the perfect combination of cheesecake with a streusel-topped coffee cake. It is simple to make with the easy to follow step by step photo instructions,

It is not a coffee cake to serve warm out the oven for breakfast. It is a make-ahead great treat for special occasions.

Variations of this recipe appear around the web in lots of places, but I think I will name this Allrecipes.com Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake as the inspiration piece since it is one of the older versions. I adapted to fresh blueberries, simplified, and organized the technique for you.

My Rating

An easy rating to do.

The Fruit

I converted this to blueberries from raspberries. But almost any fruit should do. But you can use preserves instead of fresh fruit. Good choices, in addition to blueberries or raspberries, would include apricots, or cherries.

For the blueberries, you can use fresh or frozen. Either will do fine and no need to thaw frozen berries.

🥘The Pan

This recipe calls for a 9-inch springform pan.  It needs to be well coated with flour.

No springform pan? An 8-9 nine squire pan would do, but it needs to be deep. I suggest covering the bottom with a piece of parchment paper along with flouring the sides.

✔️Tips

This crust would become dry if overcooked, so be careful.

A nice glaze would be good on this cake.

Storage: Store airtight refrigerated for up to 3 days. You can also freeze for 2-3 months sealed airtight.

🔪Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° conventional with a rack in the middle.

Combine 2 1/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well. Cut in 3/4 cup cold butter. I like to chop my butter up some before combining. DO NOT SOFTEN BUTTER.

Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for later. Add 1/2 teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda. Mix. Add 1 egg, 3/4 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.

Prepare a 9-inch springform pan with a light coat of butter and dusted with flour. Add the mixture to the prepared pan.

Spread over the bottom and up the sides about 1/4 inch thick.

In a mixing bowl place 8 oz cream cheese,1/4 cup sugar, and one egg. Beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth and a little fluffy—about 2 minutes.

Add filling to crust and top with blueberries.

Fold crust that is up the sides of the pan onto the top of the filling. Helpful hint, spray the spatula with PAM.

Cover with topping.

Bake until golden brown and set in the middle with little jiggle – about 55-60 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes and remove the side of the pan.

Cool completely before cutting,

Recipe Notes

Pro Tips
