Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the lemon icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the lemon icing over the top of the cake using a spoon or piping bag.
Slice and serve the Blueberry Coffee Cake with Lemon Icing. Enjoy!
