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.

This cake looks fabulous. I just bought a big thing of blueberries the other day. I’m totally going to have to make this!
Love blueberries in anything. This looks really moist.
Thanks Peter, I actually learned to like blueberries, they weren’t my berry of choice, but my mom loves them and I’ve grown too since making her treats.
Yum Paula, what a tasty treat, I love baking with fresh blueberries!
Thanks Emily! It was tasty, I had to send it to the boys teachers so I wouldn’t eat too much!
And here I sit with 2 quarts of fresh blueberries! Thank you lady!!!
Yay!!! This cake is so moist and did you see my blueberry waffles? If you don’t like waffles (sometimes I hate to break out the waffle pan) this batter works as pancakes too.

Paula, I love how you used the Greek yogurt to hold the berries in the batter… making it a sturdy batter. The texture really looks amazing, pinning!
