DALE'S BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE 
2 ½ cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
¾ cup soft butter
1 ½ cups sugar
3 eggs
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
12 oz. sour cream or yogurt
1 cup of blueberries, clean and dried

Crumb Topping:

1 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup flour
4 tbsp. soft butter (½ stick)
1 ½ tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ cup quick cooking oats

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Lightly grease bottom of 9” x 12” cake pan. Cut a 12 x 21” piece of wax paper large enough to cover bottom of pan and have 3-4” out on each side on baking pan for lifting. Place wax paper on bottom then lightly grease again and dust with flour.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar in large bowl of mixer. Add eggs 1 at a time, then vanilla. Beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes.

At low speed, beat in flour (1/3) alternately with sour cream or yogurt (1/2) beginning and ending with flour. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Put all the ingredients for crumb topping together in a large bowl and mix together with your hands until crumbles resemble the size of peas. Do not over mix.

Put half of batter in pan, sprinkle with half of topping. Pour over remaining batter, then sprinkle remaining topping.

Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the center bounces back when touched lightly or a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool on rack for 5- 10 minutes before lifting out the cake.

Made this changing a few things... Skipped the wax paper step altogether, baked in glass sprayed with baking spray with flour added. Cake changes: Reduced sugar to 1 Cup of sugar instead of 1 1/2 Cups. My blueberries were more sweet than tart and thought this would cut the sweetness as the sweeter berries would make up for less sugar. Increased blueberries to 2 Cups. Wouldn't have wanted less and was perfect amount for our families liking. Topping changes: Omitted nutmeg, increasing cinnamon to 2 tsp. Added a mix of sunflower seeds and pepitas and a little unsweetened coconut (just sprinkled in, did not measure.) Cake did not stick to pan, tasted AMAZING and will definitely make again. (*Might reduce sugar to 3/4 cup next time and think it'd still be just as good if not better!)
