- 34 cup sugar
- 14 cup soft butter or 14 cup margarine or 14 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 egg
- 12 cup nonfat milk (depending upon how healthy you like to be!) or 12 cup low-fat milk (depending upon how healthy you like to be!) or 12 cup whole milk (depending upon how healthy you like to be!)
- 2 cups all-purpose white flour (whatever) or 2 cups whole wheat flour (whatever) or 2 cups whole grain flour (whatever)
- 2 12 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 14 cups blueberries
- 12 teaspoon cinnamon
- 34 cup sugar
- cinnamon
- 14 cup soft butter (not vegetable shortening here) or 14 cup margarine (not vegetable shortening here)
- Step 1 - Wash the blueberries.
- Just rinse them in a colander or sieve in cold water, no soap.
- Pick out and remove any bits of stems, leaves and soft or mushy berries.
- It is easiest to do this in a large bowl of water and gently run your hands through the berries as they float.
- With your fingers slightly apart, you will easily feel any soft or mushy berries get caught in your fingers.
- Now is also a good time to get the oven preheating to 375F.
- Step 2 - Mix the dry ingredients.
- Combine the 3/4 cup sugar, 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl and mix well!
- Step 3 - Add the butter and the egg.
- Add the 1/4 cup soft butter (or margarine or vegetable shortening), the egg and using a mixer (hand, electric, or just a large spoon, whatever you have) , mix it up!
- Step 4 - Mix in the milk.
- Add the 1/2 cups milk and mix it up.
- Step 5 - Add the flour.
- While mixing, stir in the 2 cups of flour!
- (it's just like making pancakes).
- It will end up like very thick pancake batter.
- You may have to finish mixing by hand .
- Step 6 - Add the blueberries and mix.
- Add the blueberries and gently mix it.
- You don't want to crush the berries, but it won't matter if some get crushed, either!
- Step 7 - Grease and flour the pan(s).
- Of course, nobody in their right mind uses grease or lard anymore!
- It just means put a thin layer of vegetable shortening, margarine or butter over the interior surface of the pan (using your fingers), and then put 1 tablespoon of flour in the pan and swirl it around so all surfaces are coated.
- then dump the excess flour into the trash or sink.
- Step 8 - Pour the batter into the pan(s).
- Just pour the batter into the the pans.
- It should only fill the pan about half way up!
- It WILL rise, don't worry!
- Step 9 - Make the topping.
- Now to make the topping, in another bowl, mix together the topping ingredients:.
- 3/4 cup sugar.
- 1/2 cup flour.
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- 1/4 cup soft or melted butter or margarine.
- Step 10 - Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
- Pretty self-explanatory, don't you think?.
- Step 11 - Put the coffee cake in the oven!
- Cook the coffee cake at 375 F (or 190 Celsius) for 45 minutes.
- Step 12 - Remove when the coffee cake is golden brown.
- After about 35 minutes, check to see if the top is golden brown.
- If if not, check every 3 or 4 minutes until it is.
- Enjoy!
- Set the coffee cake on a rack to cool and enjoy!
- Here is a slice of the finished coffee cake!
- Serve warm!
- It also freezes well for another day!
