Last week, I shared this No-Bake Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake, and this week, I’m sharing a crumb coffee cake!

Since it’s summer, I feel like lots of cake is needed. Am I right?

Well, cake is needed pretty much any time of the year, but since I specifically love eating cake for breakfast, coffee cake is pretty much the best kind there is. It has just the right amount of flavor and fruit, which makes it just a liiiiitle bit healthier for breakfast (play along with me, please!) and it’s also sweet enough for a light dessert.

The hubster and I love coffee cake. As in, we could eat it every week if we let ourselves. Which we don’t, so not to worry! But, want to know a secret? We buy a lot of store-bought coffee cake. I feel guilty just saying those words out loud since I’m a food blogger, but sometimes, it’s just easier to buy the cake.

Well, not anymore! Thanks to this Blackberry Crumb Coffee Cake, the hubster and I eagerly ate our way through this entire coffee cake in just a few short days. It’s just that good, friends! No need for the store-bought kind, as this homemade version is about a million times better. And I’m not just saying that because I made this…pinky swear!

If you’re anything like me, the crumb topping is what makes a coffee cake unlike any other dessert. It’s sweet, sugary, cinnamon-y, and all-around delicious. This Blackberry Crumb Coffee Cake is loaded with a crumbly mixture inside the batter and on top. So you get double the deliciousness! Sounds pretty good, right?

And blackberries. Let’s talk about blackberries! I love them, but I almost feel like it’s a forgotten fruit to me. Sure, I use it to make my No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake or to munch on as a snack, but I don’t use it as much as I should in baked goods. So, I’m changing it up and trying to bake with it more this summer, starting with this coffee cake.

And like most of my recipes, this Blackberry Crumb Coffee Cake is a breeze to whip up! You can have this cake prepped and ready to be devoured in no time. It makes a tasty breakfast or delectable dessert, with its light texture and sweet flavor. It’s also perfect to serve for brunch or for when you have a house full of hungry house guests!

Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup milk I used 2%
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Light spray an 8 inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. See note below.**
  • To prepare the crumb topping, add brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and flour to a medium bowl. Stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add yogurt and milk. Beat until combined. Add in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Slowly add in flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Spread ½ of batter on the bottom of prepared pan. Top batter with 1/2 of crumb mixture, followed by blackberries. Spread remaining batter on top of blackberries. Sprinkle rest of crumb mixture on top of batter.
  • Bake for 54-58 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Notes

I used an 8 inch cake pan to yield a thicker filling, but feel free to use a 9 inch pan if you like a flatter cake.

    You know that I will NEVER argue with cake, right? It's the best, especially the crumb kind. I have been known to hog all the crumb. Have a great holiday weekend, Gayle!

    We have all picked store bought stuff 'cause sometimes the craving outweighs the energy to make things ;) And, yeap, this cake is PERFECT for breakfast (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it ;) ) . Reasons why? #1 There's never a bad time to eat cake, #2 there's yogurt in there so that's basically a breakfast food, #3 there's berries in there and same reason as #2, and #4 it's cake. Period :) This cake looks heavenly, Gayle and Pinning, of course! I bet this smells unreal when it's baking!! Have a fantastic long weekend, girl! xo

    Oh G, there is no need whatsoever to feel guilty about buying coffee cake! Erik and I enjoy our storebought goodies fairly regularly. It's called "research" or something. You know? ;) Meanwhile, sometimes we need to give ourselves a break from ALL the making of food. From scratch. Lol. So, but if I was your neighbor, I'd be "shopping" at your house all the time, searching for this blackberry crumb coffee cake. :) Hope you're enjoying a lovely, long weekend with your family.

    This cake is delicious! Just tried it. It looks so fancy as well. The only thing I did differently is added a bit of brewed coffee to the batter, also next time I want to add more berries :)
