Last week, I shared a recipe for Sinful Strawberry Muffins and I might have mentioned how much I love fresh, Ontario strawberries. Well, I didn’t mention that fresh, WILD, Ontario blueberries (the tiny ones) are my all time favourite type of berry, did I?
The last time I made this cake was back in 2007 for Super Bowl. I cannot believe that my daughter wasn’t even two at the time. I made notes on the recipe that we made it for my husband for Super Bowl. I love the fact that I have been baking cakes with my daughter since she was that little! I remember baking cakes wearing my babies in a front carrier so that they could see what I was doing. It was like I was running the Mommy baking show because I would talk to them about every step that I was taking and they LOVED to listen, and look, and perhaps even drool!
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup oil
- 1 tsp lemon flavouring OR lemon juice
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (for bottom of pan)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar (for glaze)
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup OR maple flavouring (for glaze)
- 2-3 tsp milk (for glaze)
- With an electric mixer (I use a Kitchen Aid mixer), beat egg whites for approximately 5 minutes or until quite frothy.
- Add the sugar, vanilla, oil and lemon flavouring and continue to beat for 30 seconds until mixed together well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add blueberries and stir until blueberries are coated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together (with a spatula) until combined. Be sure not to over fold as the cake will turn out too dense.
- Pour 1/2 cup of blueberries into the bottom of a bundt or tube pan. Pour batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 – 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cake COOL in the pan on a cooling rack.
- For the glaze, in a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together icing sugar, maple syrup and 2 tsp milk.
- Continue to add a small amount of milk until the icing runs off of your fork.
- Turn cake out of pan onto a plate and drizzle the glaze over top.
Will you join me for some Blueberry Coffee Cake?
What is your favourite way to enjoy blueberries?
OMG are you kidding me this looks absolutely delicious. preggo woman is totally wanting this right now. so yummy!!!
Do you bake, Kristen? I hope you can make some to satisfy your craving! I wish this cake would travel well – I would send you piece 🙂
awe thank you ! your too sweet 🙂 I do LOVE to bake but usually just do simple goodies such as cupcakes, muffins etc. this does look tempting to make tho! I am 35 weeks so most days I do not have the extra energy but if I do I definitely would love to make this 🙂
I promise Kristen that this cake really isn’t all that tricky to make! It looks fancy because of the shape of the pan and the “maple drizzle” which I did by mixing the glaze with a fork and pouring out of a measuring cup onto the cake! EASY PEASY! Keep me posted on your pregnancy! Have you liked the MommiesFirst Facebook Page? Lots of pregnancy discussions going on over there. 🙂
awesome thank you for letting me know! ill definitely give it a shot 🙂
I am a fan of the MommiesFirst facebook page ! Love their page. This is actually my second pregnancy (having another girl 🙂 but I feel like a newby all over again since it has been two year. All I have to say is thank god for air conditioning lol

My eldest daughter loves blueberries and I think I will make this cake for her. Thank you for this recipe
Darn. It was finally cool enough in the kitchen to bake this morning and I see this recipe now. Next time.

I picked up some gorgeous fresh blueberries today and I can’t wait to use them to make this. Delish!
FUN! Let me know when you do.
Your coffee cake looks divine! It is definitely a recipe to make the next time the ladies get ladies coffee get together for coffee. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙂

Love this and with the addition of a Maple Glaze it makes it even more scrumptious
A Truly Canadian Recipe with the addition of Maple Syrup I have to pin this tasty looking recipe 🙂 thank you for the post…
Oooo! Thank you, Michelle. You are very welcome and thank you for pinning it.
I love a piece of coffee cake about 4pm with a cup of tea, gets me through the rest of the day
Mmmm……I could go for a piece right about NOW!
This recipe looks so delicious! Blueberries are so plentiful right now and so as a result I am craving everything blueberry. My little guy only eats a few fruits so when I discovered that he likes blueberries that are cooked, I set out to find lots of blueberry recipes for him. This is sure to be a hit. I love the maple syrup glaze.
Oooo! How exciting that you have another recipe to add to your collection! I hope he enjoys it!
The glaze is definitely optional as the cake is quite moist on its own, but it makes more of a treat. 🙂
oh my! This looks so so delicious!
Thank you so much, Maria!
I will definitely give this recipe a try.
Would love to hear what you think of it!
Thank you for the recipe, I have some wild blueberries I picked and am going to give this a go.
You are SO lucky! I didn’t get to pick any wild blueberries this year 🙁 Let me know how it turns out!
Thank you for the recipe,we have been picking blueberries the past few days in the evening for jelly,going to make this cake into muffins for the kids
Sounds perfect – let me know how they turn out!
They were perfect muffins,everyone loved them even my sister who dropped by for a visit went home with a bag..thanks
Oh good! So glad to hear it. I will have to try it as muffins next time 🙂 Thank you for coming back to let us know.

This Blueberry Coffee Cake with Maple Glaze looks and, most probably. tastes as good as it looks. We love blueberries at our home and I will probably make this coffee cake at some point.
Anything with maple syrup in it has me interested. I remember as a child going blueberry picking only we called them winberries, then mum would bake a delicious pie with them, heavenly. 🙂
I love maple and I love blueberries, we all do really! This would be a huge hit in our house!
sounds delicious!
Nothing like a GOOD coffeecake with your fav cup of java or tea and add blueberries to the mix & you have a WINNER
This looks delicious and I love the blueberries
