COFFEE CAKE BIRTHDAY CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Grease and flour a loaf or cake pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• For the topping, in a small mixing bowl, combine streusel ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat half the blueberries and 1 tsp of sugar over medium heat. Occasionally mash the berries. Heat until berries turn into a slightly thick syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl, sift flour with baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, mix together beaten egg and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and mix well.
• Pour 1/2 the batter into a greased and floured pan. Sprinkle with remaining blueberries and half the streusel topping.
• Then top with remaining batter. Using a spoon, drizzle the blueberry syrup over the top, and gently swirl with a toothpick to slightly mix in. Top with remaining streusel.
• Bake at 375° for 35 to 45 minutes, or until cake tests done. Partially cool in pan on wire rack.
• Cut coffee cake and serve.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until combined.
• In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
• With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. 
• Pour the batter into two 8-inch round prepared pans and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350°F, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out mostly clean (not wet).
• Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
