BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE (AKA BLUEBERRY BOY BAIT)

Steps:

• Make the streusel topping: Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers, mix until no lumps of brown sugar remain. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it reaches a crumbly state. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch square pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine. Add the berries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not over-mix.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack for about 20 minutes, then serve right from the pan.
• This cake is best served on the day it is made. Leftovers will keep well for a few days wrapped in foil and stored at room temperature.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

GRANDMA DONNIE'S BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
