A Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake is the perfect guest at your upcoming Easter Brunch or any breakfast or brunch.

The sun has finally come out in Portland and after the wettest February and March in recorded history we are ready for it!  The sunshine has definitely put me in a springtime frame of mind and that means lemon!  I’ve been planning our Easter menu and this lemon blueberry coffee cake with streusel is definitely going to make the cut.  Because nothing says or smells more like spring than fresh lemons.

I think lemon and blueberry is a perfect flavor combination and the colors go so lovely together too.  And the colors in this cake is a great excuse to use my favorite blue and white dishes!

Baking Pan

For this coffee cake, I used a round tube pan to make this coffee cake.  But you can also bake it in any 9 x 13 pan r bundt pan if you like.  Just be sure and adjust the baking time.  If you use a tube ban or an angel food cake pan, make sure the bottom is removable.  That will makes it much easier to get the coffee cake out of the pan. Trust me on this one.

This recipe works well with both frozen blueberries and fresh blueberries.  But make sure to thaw the frozen berries first.  Then coat the berries in some of the flour first before adding them to the batter.  This helps keep them suspended in the cake instead of just sinking to the bottom.  Although many of them will anyway!  But that’s okay.  The cake is still going to be tender and lemony!

Finally, a drizzle of lemon glaze over the top adds an extra lemon punch and makes it look prettier too. Happy Spring!

Some of my other favorite lemon and blueberry combos are this Blueberry Lemon Curd Coffee Cake ,  Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake with Browned Butter Glaze and Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake.
