Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake recipe is perfect for Sunday brunch. It’s swirled with sweet cream cheese and fresh blueberries with a sugary crumb topping.
This Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake recipe is a new favorite – it turned out absolutely amazing! I made it for a family brunch and it was gone before I could go back for seconds. In fact, I have blueberries left over and I am going to make it again. One piece of this coffee cake is definitely not enough, and we were all left wanting more.
The batter will seem pretty thick, but don’t worry, that is how it is supposed to be. When it bakes up it always ends up perfect. This coffee cake is super moist and delicious, and you are going to love the bursts of flavor with the cream cheese swirls and fresh blueberries. This is great for breakfast when you have company or when you get together for brunch with friends.
How to Freeze Coffee Cake
This makes a 9×13 pan size of coffee cake which is great for brunch or a baby shower or bridal shower. If you want to make a batch to eat now and freeze some for later, wrap individual slices of the coffee cake in plastic wrap. Put all the pieces in a resealable freezer bag. Then, just pull out a piece and set it on the counter for about an hour. Unwrap and enjoy! If you want it warm, you can put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

I have to admit, this Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is one of my all time favorite coffee cakes! Although I think it is a pretty close tie with our Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Coffee Cake. Both are so good, you can’t go wrong! It works out fine because I can make the Pumpkin Coffee Cake during Fall and the Blueberry Coffee Cake in the spring. 🙂 And you definitely want to try our Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake during the Holidays. Although when I am looking for a quick and easy coffee cake recipe, I love to whip up our Cake Mix Coffee Cake. And when I am in the mood for a coffee cake type dessert, I love our Cinnamon Swirl Cake with yummy frosting on top!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a glass 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

Delicious. Highly recommened
Romy Greenwood says
I have made this twice. Yum! I am wondering if my batter is the right consistency? It is much more thick than cake batter. But not as thick as sugar cookie dough. With it being so thick, I have trouble getting the first layer to lay down and completely cover the bottom of the pan. Also, there doesn’t seem to be enough batter to cover a 9 X 13. So, I have used a 9 X 9.
Super yummy crowd pleaser. Thank you for helping me be a better cook!

At first, I didn’t think it was going to turn out – the batter seemed way too thick and I seemed to have way too much cream cheese layer. But it turned out great! At least all my co-workers loved it even if my 2-year-old didn’t!

My husband and I take turns in making our wedding anniversary cake. This year was his turn to make what I wanted. I wanted this cake as soon as I saw it and I must say that it was perfect, best cake I ever had. Thank you so much
Echo says

Rhonda says
I have lots of frozen blueberries. What amount should I use?
Emily says
I would do about 1 cup of blueberries.

I was looking for a recipe to use up some blueberries and cream cheese I had. I followed this recipe but it didn’t turn out good 🙁 The cake part seemed ok but the cream cheese filling had a weird consistency, kind of too eggy! I think if I do it again I might leave the filling part out. The crumb topping was delicious tho. Substituted part of the flour with oats, it’s how I usually love my topping, and it was the only change I made. Thank you for the recipe 🙂
Echo says
I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out. You could also try it without the egg or just with the egg white.
Sue mcbride says
Does this work as well if your blueberries are frozen?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, you can use frozen. Just give them a good rinse and dry them well before adding. Hope this helps!
