The Absolute Best Moist Buttery Blueberry Coffee Cake

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is the best coffee cake, it has a layer of blueberries between two layers of the most wonderful moist buttery cake then topped with a sweet buttery topping --- you could substitute 1 cup sour cream for the cream cheese but the cream cheese is better, also almond extract can be used in place of vanilla --- I serve this cake slightly warm with ice cream and it is even better the next day --- you will love this cake! :)

PRO! This recipe is totally pro. The only differences that I made were out of personal preferences. Instead of milk and cream, I used buttermilk. Since I'm always looking to reduce on sugar, I used 1/2 Splenda and 1/2 Sugar. Didnt want to deviate too much because I know that the filling and topping wont have that CRUNCH if you remove the sugar for that. I also cheated and used Self Rising Flour instead of measuring out the A P Flour and such. I'm just lazy like that. I didnt sift it, but I "did" sprinkle it into my wet mixture and remembered not to over mix. I also used 1/2 butter and 1/2 canola oil, making sure that I drizzled left over melted butter on top of entire topping of cake. I would have taken a picture, but it was absolutely "IDENTICAL" to the picture. I was amazed!!!! This will be my special blueberry recipe from now on. I dont even want to look for another. I'm good now. Thank you to who ever created this original recipe. Love you forever!!!
