Contest-Winning Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake image

The first thing I do when fresh blueberries are in season is bake this coffee cake for my husband, Carl. I've tried a lot of others, but this is the recipe I always come back to. I have access to lots of recipes and cooking tips since all my sisters are good cooks. One is a home economics teacher, and I belong to a home economics club.

This coffee cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I would add a little more baking powder to the recipe next time I make it. However, the cake is still very flavorful, and the streusel topping is delicious.

I had some trouble getting the streusel topping to stay on the cake. I think I might have used too much butter. Next time, I'll use a little less butter and see if that helps.

This coffee cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time I make it. However, the cake is still very moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping is delicious.
