My mother has been making this coffee cake for years. It is a delicate, moist cake that is not overly sweet. It's perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
topping:
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and 1/2 cup sugar. Add egg, vanilla and milk; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Spoon berries over batter. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Cover with remaining batter. For topping, combine flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done.
