Instructions
 

**Streusel:**

  • Combine flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes, then mix with the flour and sugar until crumbly.
  • Place in the fridge while you prepare the cake batter.

**Blueberries:**

  • Toss blueberries with 2 tsp of flour. Set aside.

**Coffee Cake:**

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8” deep springform pan with parchment paper and spray with oil.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl or stand mixer, beat butter, oil, and sugar until creamy and light (about 3 minutes).
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
  • Mix in the sour cream.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Finish with a spatula to avoid overmixing.
  • Spread 1/3 of the batter in the prepared pan.
  • Fold half of the blueberries into the remaining batter, then pour into the pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top, followed by the streusel.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, covering with foil if the streusel browns too quickly. The cake is done when the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

**Glaze:**

  • Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve a drizzle consistency.
  • Drizzle over the cooled cake.

### Storage

  • – **Room Temperature:** Store without glaze in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • – **Refrigerator:** With glaze, store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • – **Freezer:** Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then bring to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • **Blueberries:** Fresh or frozen work well. You can also substitute other berries.
  • **Sour Cream:** Can be substituted with yogurt.
  • **Lemon Glaze:** Use lemon juice and zest instead of milk for a lemon-flavored glaze.
  • **Oil:** Any vegetable, canola, avocado, or olive oil will do. You can substitute with butter if preferred.
