A good coffee cake was something memories are made of for me. Growing up my grandma was a coffee cake queen. It always seemed blueberry coffee cakes would be in the freezer or coming out of the oven. With fresh blackberry season coming into full swing, I was a craving a good coffee cake. Blackberry almond coffee cake is a simple coffee cake recipe using buttermilk and almond flavorings for a moist and flavorful coffee cake that could easily pass as a dessert too.
If streusel or crumble toppings are your addiction then this blackberry almond coffee cake is also going to be your new favorite. The sliced almonds and brown sugar crumble topping will add another level of flavors and textures for this coffee cake.
Blackberry Almond Coffee Cake Ingredients
The secret to the flavor of this surprising blackberry almond coffee cake is buttermilk and blackberries. You will want to mix together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and almond extract. Whisk to combine to make sure it is smooth and well combined.
How to Make Blackberry Coffee Cake
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Form a well with the dry ingredients to pour the buttermilk combination into and then stir to combine.
When the batter is combined, fold in the blackberries. Gently. Do your best not to break the blackberries. Grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan
In a small bowl mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together. Crumble pieces over the top of the coffee cake. Finally, top off with sliced almonds.
Bake the coffee cake for 25-30 minutes on 350 degrees. A toothpick or cake tester should come out clean when the coffee cake is done.
Slice the coffee cake and serve warm with your favorite cup of coffee. Or a French mimosa or toasted almond cocktail. I am for morning drinking.
