Blueberry White Chocolate Coffeecake Recipe

Blueberry White Chocolate Coffeecake is perfect for breakfast with coffee, an afternoon snack, or even dessert. Rich in flavor, yet simple to make. It is made with canned blueberry pie filling, so you can make it year-round. Try substituting other fruit pie fillings for the blueberries to change it up.

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 Tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line jelly roll pan, 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 1 inch, with non-stick foil or generously grease the pan.

Beat sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla, almond extract, and eggs in large bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Increase to high speed and beat an additional 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in flour mixture by hand, mixing only until combined. Do not over-mix. A few lumps are fine.

Spread 2/3 of the batter in pan. Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over batter. Carefully spoon out and spread blueberry filling over chips. Drop remaining coffeecake batter by the tablespoon onto pie filling. (There will be gaps.)

Bake about 40 to 45 minutes, or until batter begins to turn golden. Let rest about 10 minutes while you make the glaze. Drizzle glaze over warm coffee cake. Serve warm or let stand until cool. Store in a covered container.

Whisk cream cheese until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar, adding cream a little at a time until you reach a drizzling consistency. Use a zip-top baggie with a tiny corner cut off as a pastry bag and drizzle a wiggly pattern over the top of the coffeecake.
