Tips for Making Perfect Coffee Cake

 

1. Do not over-mix the batter: If the batter is over-mixed after the flour has been added too much gluten may develop.  This could cause the cake to not rise as much during baking and have a tough texture.

4. Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture.  Mix on low speed just until blended and smooth.
5. Add the blueberries to the cake batter and gently fold using a spatula until combined.
6. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan and spread into an even layer covering the bottom of the pan.  Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the cake batter layer in an even layer.
