Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cold butter cubed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep Pan

  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 9x13 inch pan. Line with parchment if you like. Easy release later. This step takes 5 minutes. Ready for batter!

Make the Cake Batter

  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. About 2 minutes. Add eggs one by one. Beat well. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, soda. Fold dry into wet gently. Batter done. Smooth and thick.

Spread Batter in Pan

  • Spoon half batter into pan. Spread even. Save rest for later. This base holds cream cheese layer. Takes 2 minutes. Even layer key for perfect slices.

Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla smooth. About 1 minute. Creamy and lump-free. Pour over batter layer. Spread to edges. Swirl lightly with knife for marbled look. Dreamy center ready.

Add Blueberries

  • Scatter 1 1/2 cups blueberries over cream cheese. Press gently. Spoon remaining batter on top. It will be thick—dot and spread best you can. Berries peek through nicely.

Make Streusel Topping

  • Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with fork. Crumbly texture forms. Sprinkle over cake evenly. Golden crunch awaits. Quick 2 minutes.

Bake to Perfection

  • Bake 40-45 minutes. Toothpick in center comes clean. Edges golden brown. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Then on rack. Slice warm or room temp. How to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake smells amazing!

Notes

  • Room temp cream cheese mixes smooth. No lumps!
  • Fresh blueberries best. Frozen? Toss in 1 tbsp flour first.
  • Don't overmix batter. Keeps cake tender.
  • Lemon zest twist: Add 1 tbsp to cream cheese.
  • Nutty version: Stir 1/4 cup chopped pecans in streusel.
  • Gluten-free: Swap flour for 1:1 gluten-free blend.
  • Smaller cake? Use 8x8 pan, bake 35 mins.
  • Double berries: Mix half in batter too.
