Streusel Topped Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is a magical way to start the day! Crumb cake for breakfast pretty much guarantees a good day! Do you agree?

My mom loves blueberry desserts, and since I have a freezer full of blueberries, I decided to try a blueberry version of a cake similar to my Raspberry Streusel Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. Samoas Iced Coffee is great paired with either of these coffee cakes.

The base is a soft and buttery cake layer. It’s topped with a ribbon of sweetened cream cheese, then blueberries. Finally, a buttery, crunchy crumb topping finishes this coffee cake. It’s a decadent cake and very pretty to look at. If you prefer not overly sweet cakes, this is the cake for you. Streusel Topped Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake makes a great coffee cake for this reason. I would serve this cake with coffee for brunch. As well, it would make a great dessert cake after dinner. My friends fought over the last piece when I took it to a party. It really is moist and delicious!

Streusel Topped Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Tips

First of all, I recommend using real butter.
For the Greek yogurt, you may substitute buttermilk or sour cream.
Additionally, you may use fresh or frozen blueberries.
You may also add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the crumb topping.
You may also use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for the streusel (crumb) topping.
Also, you can substitute strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or peaches for the blueberries.
Finally, I use 9-inch springform pan from this set. You can use the 8-inch pan, but the cake will need to cook longer.
