Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Everyone will want to be your BFF when you serve this blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It's my "go-to" recipe when visiting a friend or neighbor. The sour cream makes this coffee cake super moist and the blueberries are just bursting with flavor. My neighbor's husband had her call me for the recipe saying that he declared, "This is the best stuff that I have ever had in my mouth." I also make an apple version using 1 large peeled, chopped apple in place of the blueberries.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An easy, moist, and delicious coffee cake. The blueberries are tart and add a touch of sweetness. Overall, this cake is not overly sweet with just the right amount of sugar. Each bite just melts in your mouth. The topping is crunchy, buttery, nutty, and sugary - making the coffee cake even better. It will go perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.

    4
    Add the dry ingredients to the moist alternately with the sour cream until moistened.

    7
    Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

  • Streusel sprinkled over the cake.
    9
    Spoon the streusel topping over the cake batter in the pan.
  • Coffee cake cooling on a wire rack.
