Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake with a Crumb Topping @crunchycreamysw 682x1024 Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake

This cake is just a little bit of indulgence in the middle of the healthiest month of the year. It’s the dessert for a lazy Sunday, along with a steaming hot cup of tea. That’s what I have been doing.

The flu has taken over our household. The kiddos are almost over it but my Hubby and I are at the worst part of it. It’s when the congestion in your sinuses makes you feel like your head is going to explode. I hate being sick and I am a very whiny patient.

Since baking always makes me feel better and I had this idea for an easy lemon blueberry coffee cake for a while now – I decided to put on the apron and pull out my mixing bowls to whip it up. And I am so glad I did!

I used my trusted crumb cake recipe and used my favorite blueberry pie filling from Lucky Leaf in place of the sliced apples. By the way, I have some fun news

I added lemon zest and lemon extract to the cake and topping layers because lemons and blueberries go together like peanut butter and jelly. It all baked up into one fantastic cake! I dusted the top with powdered sugar. It would also be fabulous topped with vanilla ice cream. I have to admit that had a piece while the cake was still slightly warm. I could wait and I love when the pie filling is ooey gooey and warm.

This cake is a great way to bring a little bit of Spring to your home. The fruit flavors are fantastic and the easy cake and topping layers will let you make it in no time. It’s a no fuss cake yet perfect to serve for a brunch with girlfriends or family.
