Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake
"This coffee cake had my coworkers swooning! It's tender, buttery, and very delicious. Don't substitute margarine -- it's just not the same. The recipe doubles nicely for a 9x13-inch pan."

Sorry this didn't go over too well, it turned out very heavy. Probably because my hand mixer could not handle it, There was no way i could beat the batter for 2 minutes dumping all the ingredients mentioned at once, it turned into a thick gluey mass which ran up the mixer beaters and slowed down and almost stopped the mixer. Even adding the eggs did not help. I think if the butter, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and milk were added separately it probably would have worked. I definately was not done in the 50 minutes, it was still raw in the middle, I baked it about 80 minutes, it was still heavy and under done. We did try to eat it but it was just too heavy. Sorry but I wouldn't make it again. Perhaps others have bigger and better electric mixers. -
This was SO good -- especially still fresh and warm from the oven! Made a double recipe using frozen saskatoons and had to bake an extra 15 minutes or so, but it was wonderful! -
Absolutely scrumptious! Made two for the church blueberry bake sale and two for home consumption to raves of delight from everyone. Thank you for sharing this best ever recipe. -
I didn't get to try it, but everyone told me it was really good. I made it for a weekly coffee social and made double the recipe. Thanks a lot! -
This coffee cake was a real surprise. I did a double recipe and probably used close to 3 cups of blueberries. The batter was so thick that I just mixed until blended. I had to bake it about 70-75 minutes, probably because it was a double recipe. I wasn't sure it would turn out, but the results were fantastic. It was moist and tender -- everything it was supposed to be and more. Absolutely wonderful coffee cake!
