Made this coffeecake the first time without the topping. I just sprinkled powdered sugar on top after baking. Loved it! Second time I decided to make it with the topping. Baked it for 35-40 minutes since it didn't seem done. It was a mess--the top was swimming in butter & mushy. The center of the cake was raw. Both times I used a metal round baking pan. Don't know what happened since I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe a half stick of butter for the topping is too much? I'll make it again but without the topping.

Blueberry-licious!! Love this recipe. I made it exactly as written with no changes. I made it in an 8x8 Pampered Chef stoneware pan and it was baked to perfection in 30 minutes. When I removed it from the oven I was unsure if it was done but once it cooled it was perfect. Lots of blueberries (I used fresh berries, not frozen). The instructions say to mix 1 cup of the blueberries with the rest of the batter ingredients as opposed to folding them in at the end. I was unsure if this would work as I was mixing it using my Kitchenaid mixer, but it worked out great. I also love that an extra 1/2 cup of blueberries are to be sprinkled on top at the end. This makes it extra yummy. Really easy to make using ingredients you'll have on hand.

I have a very happy family right now, thanks to your blueberry coffee cake! It is simply delicious. I used a 10 inch pie dish and the batter rose beautifully, high and rounded. The texture of this coffee cake is sublime; including a moist, light center and crispy, flavorful topping. I used one pint of blueberries (which was closer to only 1 cup), reserving about 1/4 cup for the topping. I thought it had plenty of berry goodness throughout! For the topping, I sliced the cold butter into bits and lightly crumbled it in with the topping mix. I will definitely be making this coffee cake again (and again....)! ~Made for Oct. Aussie/NZ Swap~

I made this as directed, but my topping sank into the coffee cake while cooking! It tasted good, but I missed that nice crust on top that the normal brown sugar topping would provide.
