Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
1 cup fresh blueberry
1 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup whole milk, room temperature
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon whole milk, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8½ x 4½-inch (20 cm x 11 cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with a piece of parchment paper so there's overhang on both of the long sides.
  • Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars, flour, and butter. Mix together with a fork or with your fingers until crumbly and the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces, being careful not to overmix. Set aside.
  • Make the coffee cake: Add the blueberries to a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan while baking. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1½ cups (155 G) flour, the baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla, lemon juice and zest, and milk until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until fully combined. Add the blueberries to the batter and carefully fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
  • Bake the coffee cake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, make the lemon glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of milk until the sugar is dissolved. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then use the parchment sling to remove the cake from the pan. Drizzle the cake with the glaze before slicing with a serrated knife and serving.
  • Enjoy!
