Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup granulated sugar + extra sugar for sprinkling on top
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon of lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 ¾ cup blueberries fresh or frozen, unthawed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a square 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Next, beat in the eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
  • Stir in dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in blueberries with a spatula.
  • Pour into your prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle heavily with granulated sugar on top. (Some of the sugar will soak into the coffee cake, and the rest will crust on top).
  • Bake the cake in the center of the oven for about 35 minutes, until browned on top and a cake tester comes out clean (I usually check the middle of the cake).
  • Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
