Blueberry Coffee Cake
Here is a delicious blueberry coffee cake recipe. I got it from the King Arthur Flour site. It came out really yummy. The only thing that bugged me was the edges cooked too much but the middle wasn't ready. I think it should be put in a bigger dish and made thinner so it cooks more evenly. I forgot to take a picture and by the time I remembered there were only crumbs left. We ate it all in about 24 hours.
Ingredients
Topping
1/3 cup (2 ounces) sugar
1/2 cup (2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
Batter
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick, 2 ounces) butter or margarine
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (4 ounces) milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, well drained
First: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Making the Topping: Mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut or rub in the butter or margarine with the side of a fork, two knives or your finger tips until it reaches a crumbly state. Set aside.
Making the Batter: Blend the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium sized mixing bowl. In a large bowl cream together the sugar, butter or margarine, egg and vanilla. Alternately add the milk and the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, ending with flour. Stir only enough to blend. Fold in the blueberries.
Assembling & Baking: Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured, 9-inch cake pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester or knife comes out clean.
Let the buckle cool for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a knife or spatula. Holding the cake pan in your left hand, gently tip the cake out onto your right hand, remove the pan, and gently right the cake onto a serving dish.

Katrina, Only crumbs left? Sounds like a pretty good first attempt. That crisper edge may have been due to over creaming. Or the oven rack may have been 1 slide too high. Give us a call on our Hot Line if you'd like any assistance: 800-827-6836. Frank @ KAF, baker/blogger.
