BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK COFFEE CAKE is a delightfully moist cake bursting with fresh blueberries and a cinnamon pecan filling! You’ll want to bake one up immediately to go with your next cup of coffee!
I will be honest. I don’t bake coffee cakes as often as I should. I really don’t know why. They are incredibly delicious and such a nice little treat to have with my daily afternoon cup of coffee. The last time I made a coffee cake was when I made Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch Cake last spring and it was so good! But I digress…back to THIS amazing cake! This Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake is showstopping! Not only is it gorgeous, but it is also everything you would want in a good coffee cake!
It is moist and actually stays moist even the next day. The blueberries give it the perfect little pop of sweetness and the cinnamon pecan filling…OMG…so good! It’s also very easy to make. I used my bundt pan to give this cake a nice presentation and then dusted it with powdered sugar.
My husband gave this cake two thumbs up, and since we are now empty-nesters, I sent the entire cake off to his office. He came back that night with a cake plate that looked like it had been licked clean.
He said, “Everyone LOVED the cake you sent! They want to know what you are making tomorrow!”
This cake would be a perfect cake to celebrate Mother’s Day next month, take to a pot luck, or serve at brunch. Not a fan of blueberries? You can swap the blueberries for your favorite berry. Make sure you use a non-stick bundt pan and spray it well with a baking spray that has flour in it. The blueberries and the sugar from the filling will have a tendency to make it stick to the pan and no one wants a broken coffee cake!
I hope you give this recipe a try and come back to let me know what you think!

I tried this recipe from another site. The only difference was it had a cup of sour cream. I added more blueberries as well. It was an epic fail. I’m not sure if it was the extra berries or what but it collapsed. It was so hollow inside. Tasted amazing but not something to serve. I’m going to try this recipe and see if I have better luck! I will update.
