Looking for something new...

I recently came across this recipe that has left me - smiling.  It's so delish!!  It's definitely my newest rant and rave. ;)

~Blueberry Coffee Cake~

1/4 cup butter, softened

2/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup + 2 T. all-purpose flour, divided

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup milk

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

3 oz. cream cheese, cubed

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Beat in egg.  Combine 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt.  Gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.

Toss blueberries with remaining 2 T. flour.  Gently stir in blueberries and cubes of cream cheese into the batter.  Batter will be thick.

Transfer to a greased 8" square baking pan.

Topping:

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

1 Tbsp. cold butter

Combine flour and sugar and cut in butter until crumbly.  Sprinkle over batter.  Bake at 375* for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Note:  If using frozen berries... do not thaw, before adding to batter.

Yield: 6-8 servings
