Breakfast cake, coffee cake, whatever you want to call it, it’s overflowing with blueberries and absolutely delicious. The crumb topping really is enough for this, but I always have to have a pretty white drizzle on top. :) However, you can certainly leave it off if you like. I would imagine this would be good with other fruits too, such as raspberries, sour cherries, blackberries, or cranberries in the fall.
No matter what fruit you decide on, definitely add this to your “to do” list! You can play around with it too. if you decide to use cherries, add in a bit of almond extract. If using cranberries, I would add a few fall spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. If you use a tangy fruit like sour cherries or cranberries, you might want to add the drizzle for added sweetness.
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
Recipe from Annie’s Recipes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
TOPPING:
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (I used ground hazelnuts I had in the freezer)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
DRIZZLE
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk (more or less to get to a drizzling consistency)
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and baking powder. Add egg, milk, butter and lemon peel; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the blueberries. Spread in a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
For topping, combine sugar, flour, walnuts and cinnamon in a mini food processor or bowl. Add butter and process, or cut in if doing by hand, until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done.
For drizzle, combine the powdered sugar and milk. If too thick, add a few drops of additional milk at a time until it reaches drizzling consistency. Drizzles over the top of the cake and allow to sit until sugar solidifies.
Note: I made mine the night before, covered it with foil and we enjoyed it the next morning, but this would make a great snack cake or dessert cake as well. Perfect!

I don't think I've ever seen a recipe here that I didn't think was just wonderful. I love coffee cakes and this one looks delicious!
Yummy!! I like cake for breakfast :D this is going on my to-do list for sure!
You sure love your drizzles don't you? This looks great!!
This would certainly get anyone out of bed in the morning! It sounds delicious and looks divine!
This looks soooo good! Better than the peach muffins I made today (that my kids wouldn't eat!), def. adding to my "to do" list! Thanks for the great posts and hunger-inspiring pics ;)
You always know how to hit my sweet spot with your baking. I'd be perfectly happy to have this delicious looking cake for dessert too.
I love coffeecakes like this, especially with a drizzle on top.
This looks delicious, Amanda……..I sure would love a piece of this for breakfast-it would go great with my freshly made cup of coffee….. :)

Give me the drizzle! Looks awesome! Too bad my oven is broke. I bought a watermelon extract and new food coloring to make your watermelon cookies and now the oven is broke. So now anything baked is in my future. :(
Oooooh I like this. SU'd!
The added drizzle looks fantastic and sounds delish.
Looks so tasty and yummy!
oh wow, this looks so good. I love all your photos of food!
This looks amazing Amanda! Yum.
Oh does this look great! Reminds me of Bojangles BoBerry Biscuit!

Wow, Amanda, this really does look amazing. I'm sure it would be delicious with a good strong cup of coffee. Yum!
I wish I was eating this right now! Yum!
This looked so good, I have been waiting for an opportunity to try it, and today was the day. I used a combination of blueberries and strawberries, and I just now pulled it out of the oven and BOY does it look and smell good. I wonder if we will be able to wait for breakfast tomorrow?? I have a feeling it may wind up being dessert tonight. :)
So happy to hear that Shelley! Maybe I should make it again :) YUM!
This looks terrific. I'm making it now. Out of milk, so I'll use 1/2 n 1/2, and almonds instead of walnuts. (That's what we do, use the pantry.) I'll let you know how it comes out. I can hardly wait.
I hope you enjoyed it Anon! :)
This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to give it a try (got to get some blueberries first)! :)
I made this for my mom's group this morning, and it was DEVOURED!! SO yummy! I will def be making this again. I only had skim milk, so I used that and half and half. I used frozen berries right out of the freezer, and I baked it in a stone pan, so it only took about 25 min to bake.
[...] morning, I decided it was time to bring the camera into the kitchen as I worked on this delicious blueberry breakfast cake recipe. Try it yourself and let us know what you [...]
I love blueberries! Looks fab!
