Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe Tips
For best results, use regular cream cheese, NOT whipped, low-fat or non-dairy.
Stick the cream cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes, it will be easier to cut into little cubes.
Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh. Keep them frozen and add them just before baking.
Raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries can be used instead of blueberries.
For some nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of sliced almonds or chopped pecans to the topping.
For best results, be sure to measure the flour correctly. Fluff it up some in the bag and then use a large spoon to scoop it into a dry measuring cup. Level it off with the back of a knife.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator. Will keep for 5 to 6 days in an airtight conatiner.
Can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator and then warm in the microwave before serving.

Can I Get A Good Result With Defrosted Berries?
Serving size? How many carbs?
Delicious! I only had one cup of blueberries but it’s still delicious! Would def make again and think it would be even better with more blueberries.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
This is a delicious recipe. I reduced sugar by 1/4 c and still plenty sweet. Dredged berries in flour before folding in to recipe. I also left out the cream cheese and reduced sugar in topping, mixed lemon rind into batter instead of topping. Blueberry flavor bursts in your mouth and cake tastes light with nice crumb.
Made this tonight! Delicious! Used an 8×10 pan instead of 9 ” square! Baked 40-45 minutes.
