This Blackberry Coffee Cake bursts with juicy blackberries and hints of lemon. It has a moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a golden, crumbly streusel topping that enhances every bite. Paired with coffee, this cake is indulgent, cozy, and utterly irresistible.

Coffee cake is perhaps the best brunch treat. Why is it called coffee cake? It’s not because it has coffee in it (it doesn’t); rather, it is the perfect accompaniment to a steaming cup of coffee. If a traditional cake with coffee in it is what you’re after, try Ina’s Chocolate Cake.  This blackberry coffee cake is infused with lemon juice, zest, fresh blackberries, and a sour cream coffee cake batter. Plain coffee cake is wonderful, but berry coffee cake is even more flavorful and interesting.
