My mom shared about a gallon of fresh blueberries and another gallon of strawberries with me recently. They were at the peak of ripeness, so I didn’t have long to wait to make something. It was not the best time for me to have extra recipes to make. It was right at the end of school, but when berries are ripe, they’re ripe, and you have to work them or miss out. I didn’t want to miss out.
First, I made this sauce with all the blueberries. I knew at least this way, I’d have more than two days to make recipes. If you click over, you’ll quickly see that it is a Strawberry Sauce recipe. The only thing I did differently was substitute blueberries for the strawberries in the recipe. Then, I refrigerated the sauce and began thinking of fun recipes.
This Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake was the first recipe I made with fresh sauce. I stirred it together for about 15 minutes and had it in the oven. It takes 45 to 50 minutes to cook in a 9×13-inch pan.
Another easy and delicious coffee cake is this Apple Pie Filling Coffee Cake.
Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake Tips
I used Greek yogurt in this cake. By using yogurt, the batter is thick and sturdy. If you were to use a thinner batter or an angel food type cake batter, the blueberries would since to the bottom. That’s not what I wanted. I wanted three layers with the blueberries peeking through the streusel toppings.

Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s really easy to make and it tasted amazing! Will surely have this again!
I liked the all natural ingredients and the blueberry coffee cake tasted so good! I’ll be making this one again!
This recipe was sweet, moist and delicious, and much easier to make than I expected. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing.
Oh gosh this was delicious! I had a few friends over for coffee this morning and it was a big hit with all!
I made a sour cream coffee cake not too long ago and I did it with butterscotch and although I loved it thought it was really more of a dessert than breakfast. This looks like a better breakfast alternative!
This is pretty dense, but not crazy sweet. My husband liked it and he’s not a sweet eater. Hope you enjoy.
