Blueberry Crumble Coffeecake | Eggless Baking

While it has been years since I baked anything with a streusel topping, I have to say bakes with a crumble have always been a favorite with me. Streusel toppings always remind me of the cold Midwest winters, snowy evenings, and the warm smell of cinnamon wafting through our home! So its quite contrary that I am baking a Blueberry Crumble Coffeecake right at the start of a hot summer.

Blueberries are in and are they delicious. Sweet, fleshy, juicy, they make for the perfect mid morning snack and we have been gorging them. While I have received many demands for a blueberry ice cream recipe, I could not resist blogging this recipe first!! This is a wonderfully soft cake, not too sweet in itself. Its loaded with great fat juicy fresh berries which are set off by the richness of a crumble. Use the best quality of blueberries and don't skimp on the butter in the crumble!!

Ingredients for Cake:

4. In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, yogurt, and vanilla.
5. Alternately add the milk and the flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture, ending with flour.

7. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven, and set it on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve right from the pan.
