Studded with whole blueberries and topped with a perfectly golden streusel, this seasonal coffee cake is a classic crowd-pleaser. What makes this coffee cake uniquely fantastic? Every layer, from the golden streusel topping to the tender blueberry base, packs unrivaled sweetness courtesy of C&H Sugar. We complemented the juicy blueberries in the batter with C&H® Granulated Sugar and the beautiful crumble topping has a distinct caramel crunch thanks to C&H® Golden Brown Sugar. Served with a simple glaze made with C&H® Confectioners’ Sugar, this is the ideal breakfast treat.
