To me, the perfect breakfast includes a nice cup of decaf (click to read about my coffee experience) and a big chunk of Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake. And, since we are in the midst of blueberry season and my brother-in-law just happens to own a blueberry/blackberry farm, I’m in blueberry heaven!
Helpful Hint: Planning a summer brunch? Skip the muffins and serve this instead. Your brunch will be the talk of the town!

Hi Alli – this sounds like such a delicious cake and perfect with morning coffee or afternoon tea! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and will have a happy Monday! 🙂
Thanks! I love the crunch of the streusel topping combined with the burst of blueberry flavor. Divine! 🙂
Blueberries and streusel!? Match made in heaven. I’m stopping by from Tasty Tuesdays because I couldn’t resist such a delectable combination. Now I have another idea to help me use up my gallons of blueberries 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Good Afternoon Alli, I love the idea of Blueberry Streusel Coffee cake and as I love to bake this cake is perfect for me. How lucky to have a brother in law who owns a blueberry farm, it must be wonderful to have an endless supply of blueberries. Do you freeze some for when they are out of season? Blueberries can be grown here in England, but really, it depends on the weather and our weather has been very strange this year.
I think I will make this cake for the weekend, as I know my husband will love it.
I am so pleased to have found you, and the lady to thank for that is Anyonita at Anyonita Nibbles.
Best wishes to you,
Daphne
I do freeze them! My grandson loves them straight from the freezer. I’m so glad you found me, too! Headed over to your blog.
Found you through the Tasty Tuesday link-up. This recipe looks delicious! I love fun breakfast recipes like this. Thanks for sharing!
