Blueberry Coffee Cake
Topping:
1⁄3 cup rolled oats
1⁄3 cup flour
1⁄4 cup sugar
1 1⁄4 teaspoons cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, softened
Cake:
1 2⁄3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1⁄2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1⁄4 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups fresh or frozen (not thawed) blueberries
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Make the topping: In a small bowl, stir oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add butter and blend until crumbly. Set aside. Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar; with an electric mixer, beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, sour cream, half-and-half and vanilla; beat until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture; beat on low speed to combine, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and mix just until well blended, about 30 seconds. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries. Turn batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly on top; press lightly. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in pan 30 minutes before serving.
