The cooking process explained

Making this blueberry coffee cake is a straightforward process, perfect for both novice bakers and seasoned chefs. Begin by preheating your oven and preparing your cake pan. You’ll then cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, introducing the egg and milk to create a wet mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gradually mix them into the wet ingredients, folding in the blueberries at the end. A quick bake in the oven transforms these ingredients into a deliciously fragrant cake that you’ll want to share (or keep all to yourself!).

What you’ll need

To get started, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen work well)
• 2 cups + 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg

If you’re looking for substitutions, feel free to use a dairy-free milk alternative or swap the blueberries for your favorite berries, such as raspberries or strawberries!
