The coffee cake was as described, very easy and simple. I coated the blueberries with about 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter so that they would not sink to the bottom of the cake when baked. The batter is thick. I couldn't really pour it in the pan but rather scooped up the batter and placed it in the pan and then leveled the batter before baking it. The streusel topping is very tasty.

When I mixed this up I got a lump of dough.There didn't seem to be enough liquid. It just wrapped around the beaters and became a thick ball. What did I do wrong? Half a cup of milk seemed to be a small amount for 2 cups of flour.

Everyone devoured it when I took it to work. I used frozen blueberries so it took a little longer to bake, but it turned out fine.

We liked this a lot! Thanks so much. The perfect coffee cake, with the tangy blueberries and the sweet topping. I made it in a 9 x 9 pyrex pan, since I have no springform pan.

This is very tasty! The blueberry taste is wonderful along with the crunchy top. I baked mine 40 minutes and next time I'll back 35 as it was a bit to browned for my liking. I will definately be making this again! Thanks for a yummy recipe!
