lemon blueberry coffee cake

Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake 

Every year I try to have a thanksgiving brunch, but this year that got put on hold because of baby. 

 I had an Easter Brunch instead. 

As always, I stress over what I should make for such an occasion. I love blueberry's and cake. I was going to make a blueberry/raspberry jiffy coffee cake ( which is very good) but I wanted a little more homemade for this occasion. I stumbled across a blog which caught my eye...probably because of the name :)  She had this recipe on here that I had to try. It was delicious. But even more important, I had a great time feeding and chatting with my friends.   

• ½ cup butter
• 2 tsp. lemon zest 
• 3/4 cup and 1 T sugar 
• 1 T sugar (set aside)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 3/4 cup flour 
• 1/4 cup flour (set aside) 
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp.  salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• ½ cup buttermilk

1. Heat oven to 350 
2. Zest lemon 
3. Rinse blueberries and mix with 1/4 c flour 
4. Cream butter, zested lemon, and 3/4 + 1 T sugar until light and fluffy 
5. Add eggs and Vanilla 
6. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt 
7. Mix in buttermilk 
8. Fold in blueberry mixture. 
9. Sprinkle 1 T Sugar on top 
10. Bake in 8x8 or 9x9 pan for 30-40 minutes 

* tossing the blueberries in the flour coats the berries so they incorporate evenly and don't just fall to the bottom.
