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!
Method
1.Cream the sugar and butter together.

2.Add the applesauce and vanilla and blend some more.

3.Combine the dry ingredients except blueberry in a bowl, mix well.

4.Add these slowly to the wet ingredients alternating with Sour cream and blend. Fold in the blueberries.

5.Grease a Cake tin and spoon half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and then spoon the remaining batter. Top it off with some more of the topping.

6.Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 40-45 min or until the skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

7.Cool it for 10 min in the pan and then remove and place in a wire rack.Dust it with confectionar sugar and enjoy.

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

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.
