  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1- Large Egg
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Here's how to make this sour cream blueberry coffee cake
  • First you'll need to preheat the oven to 350 and butter an 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer cream together room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg, vanilla, sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest and continue mixing until well blended.
  • In a separate medium bowl mix together 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing after each addition, until it has all been incorporated.
  • This creates a very rich thick batter, don't worry the thickness helps the berries to not sink to the bottom!
  • Place blueberries in a small bowl, pour reserved 1/4 cup of flour onto them and gently stir or toss to coat them completely.
  • Pour berries into batter and gently fold them in with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are well distributed.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and place in the preheated oven to bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on the top and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean
