Ingredients

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups full-fat sour cream
  • 4 cups all-purpose or cake flour sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Crumb topping

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • In a bowl, combine the ingredients with your fingers. Adjust the cinnamon to your liking.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line three loaf pans with baking papers. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add the salt, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and combine. Occasionally scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the half of the flour and combine. Scrape the bowl again with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining flour and baking powder and mix until combined.
  • Fold in the blueberries.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the three (9x5-inch) loaf pans. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly on the top of each unbaked coffee cake. (keep any leftover crumb topping in a freezer safe zip-style bag)
  • Place the loaf pans on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 60-65 minutes. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

NOTE:
You do not need to add fruit if you do not wish. Fold in whatever type of fruit you prefer or leave it out.
Add a bit more cinnamon to the recipe to make a darker crumb topping.
