The combination in this coffee cake is sour cream and blueberries. Thinking about the flavor profile, coffee is rich and has a bitter note to it. Sour cream is slightly tangy or acidic, whereas blueberries offer sweetness. So, logically speaking, the flavors offer a perfect balance.

You are able to enjoy the tanginess of sour cream, and a pop of sweetness with blueberries. If you are someone who likes to enjoy a blend of unique flavors, this cake is definitely for you!
Components of a Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
There are two main components of Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Thus making it quite simple and easy to make. These are:
- The base: the base is what resembles the cake. It is spongy, moist, tasteful, and rich. This is where sour cream,and blueberries are used. It is pretty much like any other cake. But it is more decadent.
- The crumb: The crumb is the topping. This part makes it so much like a cobbler. The crumb is made with flour, butter, sugar, and walnuts. So, you get a crunchy element as well.
The best thing about this cake is that it is a single-step cake. It means you don’t have to bake elements separately. You can prepare the two components and stack them upon each other and bake. It is very convenient for someone who is in a hurry.
Tips for making Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Here are a few things you must keep in mind when making this tasteful cake:
- I have used walnuts in the crumb, but you can use pecans or almonds as well. The main idea is to bring in a crunchy element. It can be anything you like.
- I prefer to use sweet cream butter instead of regular unsalted butter. That’s because sweet cream butter makes the cake rich.
- Don’t overmix the cake batter.
- Always keep the blueberries for the last. Never use an electric mixer for mixing blueberries. Use a spatula to fold them in the end gently.
- You can make the crumb in an electric mixer or by using your hands.
- Always insert a toothpick or fork before taking the cake out of the oven. Once it comes clean, it means the cake is ready.
- Wait till the cake is completely cool before you serve it.
NOTE: This cake tastes particularly amazing in the morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. You can also serve it with tea.
