Lucky Leaf Blueberry Coffee Cake

By srumbel

This cake has a rustic, homemade look, and when you slice into the cake you fine layer upon layer of moist cinnamon cake, Lucky Leaf Premium Blueberry Pie Filling, and toasty flaked almonds. On the top I made a buttery almond crumble to add some sweet crunch. If blueberry is not your thing you can easily substitute any other flavor of Lucky Leaf filling like dark sweet cherry, strawberry, raspberry, or any flavor that strikes your fancy. Because you do not have to take the time to prepare the fruit filling from scratch you can have this cake can be in the oven in 20 minutes! It also keeps very well overnight, so if you wanted to make this the evening before feel free. I think it tastes better when left to sit because the flavors have time to mingle.

Preparation

Step 1

1.Begin by mixing the topping.
2.In a small bowl combine the flour and sugar and whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the cubed butter and, with your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the almonds and mix to combine. Cover and chill while you prepare the cake batter.
3.Heat the oven to 350 F and spray a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
4.In the work bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, add the oil, butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Mix on medium-low speed until the mixture is well combined, about 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition, then add the vanilla and mix on low to combine, about 30 seconds.
5.In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk well to combine. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixing for 30 seconds after each addition, starting and ending with the flour. Make sure not to over-mix the batter.
6.Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan, top with 1 can of Lucky Leaf Premium Blueberry Pie Filling and all of the sliced almonds. Gently spread the remaining cake batter over the top, then spoon the second can of filling over the batter. Finally, evenly sprinkle the topping over the blueberries.
7.Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the edges of the cake begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the cake is firm when gently pressed in the center. Cool completely to room temperature before serving.
