    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor)

    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg
  • For the Blueberries:
    • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, but thaw and drain them)

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3: Coat the Blueberries

  1. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake while baking.

Step 4: Assemble the Coffeecake

  1. Spread half of the cake batter in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  2. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Add the remaining cake batter on top of the cheesecake layer.
  4. Sprinkle the coated blueberries over the batter, gently pressing them in.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle this topping over the cake.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (it might have a bit of cheesecake filling on it, but it should not be wet).
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
