Blueberry Coffee Cake
There are some recipes, which work so well under your finger's supervision, play along with you as you cook, behave exactly how you dream that it should and come out looking like a winner! They are simply perfect for all occasions - be it a birthday party, a potluck or for that cozy tea with your loved one. Less time in kitchen but the result makes you look like a superwoman - who just managed to finish office work, tidy up home, make something looking shop bought yet look looking fresh and all reared up to go!
Among such recipes is this Blueberry Coffee Cake! The prep time is a laugh and the taste worthy of hours of effort. I have adapted this recipe from TasteofHome magazine where I have made it eggless. Its a total keeper with a wonderful crust yet soft as you nibble through it. Tastes perfect for evening tea - though coffeecake nevertheless! ;-)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup applesauce

- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup low fat sour cream
- 1 cup fresh/frozen blueberries ( dont thaw if frozen)
- 3-4 tbsp cinnamon sugar ( add sugar + cinnamon powder) for topping

This has become one of my favorite recipes and I make it often. I especially appreciate that it’s eggless. I use sweetened applesauce and add 1/3 cup chopped walnuts to the batter. It looks attractive and is quite scrumptious.
Hey wanted to know if i can just omit blueberries and make it a plain cake. with some almond extract. Also does it fill 2 8″ pans? or should i make it twice?
i tried many shops culdnt find applesauce…tell me can i use coke or anything else instead of tat…please reply soon..iam already using yoghurt instead of sour cream…
can i use canned blueberry as fresh n frozen r not available easily here in India
I havent used canned blueberries but I think you can use one on one substitute after draining the canned blueberries.
Lovely..want to try it. But was wondering can I make it in loaf/muffin/regular cake pan. Don’t have bundt pan.
Oh yes..u most def can
Lovely recipe. lots of tips too to make things easier. Hope to get into your “i made you recipe” thing soon. good work. cheers
looks good I found what I wanted …AN EGGLESS CAKE. I will definitely make this cake.I also liked the replacements suggested in responses
yummy…. i m surely gonna make this very soon…. i just have one question… how to make this cake in a microwave oven???
I have updated the Ingredients section with the links for making it easier using m/w
Hey DK! Can I substitute butter with any healthier alternatives w/o affecting the taste very much? Thanx!
But,But ,Where is the cofee..As it says coffee.Or is it Toffee…
The term “coffeecake” or “Tea Bread” is usually used in connotation to “any cake or sweet bread usually served with coffee/Tea” and does not necc. always mean that it contains Coffee or tea
where are the eggs
This is an Eggless recipe as its suggested in the title. If you want to use eggs – use 2 eggs slightly beaten instead of applesauce –DK
the cake look lovely

Hey Hema, thank you so much for your words. I have one Eggless Vanilla cake coming up at Chef In you. Will surely try to post a fruit cake too. Are you looking for an eggless Fruit cake too? –DK
Hi Divya,
I dont have baking soda. Can i omit it or how can i replace it. I read a couple of articles and its pretty confusing.

One of the most difficult substitutions in baking is for Baking soda. There is no exact substitution like many others and you would have to adjust other ingredients in the recipe..I have given 3 substitutions in my Baking Substitutes 101 post with one being ideal – chk it out. Hope that helps

Hi Ruchi, I have updated that step to be more precise. Just alternate the sour cream while adding the dry ingredients to the wet. This is just to make sure that the dry and wet ingredients mix well together. Once that is done, stir in the blueberries gently. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking and pointing out
I got here thru Madhuram’s blog -thanks for the recipe. Could you please tell me at what stage do you add the sour cream?
Ruchi
Hi Anon – I know how that is having lived in a cold place myself. You can of course use microwave..another method would be to preheat Oven to warm and then place the butter there..the oven will act as a place with warmer temp. Keep it until softened, u can use oven since you would be switching it on to make the cake anyways
Hope this helps. Wud luv to know how it turned out for you
Hi
I am staying in a very cold place, even if I keep my butter stick out for days it would be hard. How shlould i soften it? Put it in the microwave for few seconds?
Hey this looks awesome…am gonna try this for sure!
@all Thank you for your wonderful comments.
@Elaine : You can replace the applesauce with 2 eggs and it comes out more amazing than it already is. I used as an egg replacement.
As for Sour cream is concerned – Though I have not tried to make this cake this way – I know that usually Yogurt can be used to replace sour cream. Try same measure of plain yogurt (full fat preferable).
Hope this helps
hi, i would like to ask if i can omit the applesauce and the sour cream, any replacement?
I won’t ask for coffee or tea – just this will do!!
Love the fact that its eggless.Looks too perfect.Perfect for coffee or with tea as well.
Lovely cake DK. I don’t have this pan, gotta buy it soon. Send this one also to my pured fruit event. It’s unitl Dec 31st.

Nice recipe, Divya, and the blueberries must make the cake really delicious. Love that it’s eggless too!
