Description: 

A fluffy, fruity coffee cake with a sweet crusty topping

Yield: 

9 servings

Ingredients: 

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 cup blueberries, cranberries*, raspberries, chopped strawberries, or finely-chopped apples

Topping Ingredients:

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions: 

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy. (We use an electric mixer for this.) Mix in oil and milk.

3. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients and stir. Fold in fruit.

4. Pour batter into a greased 8- or 9-inch square baking pan**.

5. Mix topping ingredients together (should be coarse crumbs/lumps of topping) and sprinkle over batter.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, until cake tests done in the middle. Cover cake loosely with foil if the top starts browning too quickly (I usually place foil over the cake after about 45-50 minutes).

7. Serve hot, or cool in pan. :)

Additional Notes: 

*We put frozen cranberries in a food processor for a minute or so, to chop them coarsely.

**I have doubled this recipe and baked it in a 9x13x3-inch stainless steel pan. The cake took about 65 minutes when doubled like that.

Original recipe from Tanya L. Photos and instructions are my own. :)

This is an easy and delicious coffee cake!! The cake isn't too sweet... so you'll want to eat a large piece. ;) What a great recipe! My rating: 10/10

Really easy and tasty cake

I don't care the name if it is really cafe cake. Every bite taste so good so fluffy so pleased. This recipe saved my crazy starwberries stock from the farmer's market last week. I baked stawberry pie before, but my boys seemed not like that kind of creamy and sweet pie. I can't wait to serve them this yummy cake for their breakfast tomorrow morning. I want to wake them up now... I used my 9" round pan, perfect size. I add one more tablespoon for the topping (becasue lazy to cut it), perfect. When I finished the batter, I surprised by the sticky status and double checked the ingredients. After all the cake growing well. This is a out of ten cake.

Berry Good!

I just took mine out of the oven ten minutes ago and it's delicious. Will make this again. It's not too sweet, very moist and light. Great dish to take to the office and share with co-workers.

Easy and delicious!

I turn to this coffee cake when I want something quick to mix up. It's perfect warm out of the oven! Use a moist fruit and it's still soft the next day, too. Yummy! :)

This was a dense moist cake perfect with tea and coffee. My family enjoyed it this morning! I used drained canned peaches that I diced and wild blueberries defrosted from this past summer. I did not have milk so I used vanilla yogurt and a little less sugar. I will be adding this to my recipe book.

Very moist and - not too sweet - cake!

This was a great all-around cake! Very moist, not too sweet (perfect for breakfast), and yummy topping. I like how it is very lowfat compared to other breakfast cakes that we have tried. However, I only have 1 negative. For us, it wasn't really a traditional coffee cake. Our coffee cake definition is a more crumbly cake texture with more spice in the actual cake. I will try to experiment to see if I can get it a little more to our liking. But it is a wonderful cake. Will definitely use again, just not as a coffee cake. : ) Thanks!

YUM

I made this today as a special treat for a friend and me. I made it with frozen raspberries. It was great! I will certainly make this again.

yummy cake - made dairy and egg free

I made the fruit coffee cake with several allergy free substitutions and it still turned out great (sometimes doing this ruins a recipe)! We used rice milk instead of milk and I used some egg replacement (Ener-G) and some homemade applesauce instead of the two eggs. It was delicious and my toddler loved it (he is allergic to eggs, all dairy, peanuts and tree nuts). We used blueberries since I always have those in the freezer from the summer. So yummy, Thank you!

Wow!

This cake is simply divine. I made mine with some leftover frozen blueberries and it turned out fabulous. I have already eaten three pieces!

It is simply and easy to put together. The only change I made was to add 1 tsp. of Vanilla to the batter. Yum!Yum!
