Ingredients

Crumb Topping:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 6 tbsp butter, cold

Coffee Cake:

  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 pint blueberries, about 2 cups
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar for the crumb topping and mix to combine. Cut in the butter with a fork or your fingers until it has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Set this aside in the fridge while you prepare the coffee cake batter.

Coffee Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease a 13"x9" pan, line it with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, beat the eggs with both sugars for about 5-7 minutes. It should be a thickened, whipped mixture, about double in size.
  • Add the butter and vanilla, and mix for about two more minutes.
  • Toss the blueberries in a couple tablespoons of the flour for the recipe and set them aside.
  • Stir in the rest of the flour and gently mix on low speed or fold in with a spatula until just combined.
  • Add the flour-coated blueberries and lemon zest and fold in to combine.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the coffee cake. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs on it. Allow the coffee cake to cool at least 10-15 minutes before glazing and cutting into it.

Glaze

  • Combine the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir until it reaches your desired consistency. You can add additional lemon juice if you want to thin it out, or more powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter, thicker glaze.
  • Drizzle over the cooled coffee cake.
