For the cake:

3/4cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2cup sour cream
1 1/2cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
For the cream cheese layer:
8oz cream cheese, softened
1/4cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the streusel topping:
1/3cup brown sugar

Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the cake batter: Cream the butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients alternately with sour cream, then fold in blueberries. Spread batter in the baking dish.
Make the cream cheese layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the cake batter and swirl lightly.
Create the streusel topping: Mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake batter.
Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
This coffee cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
Bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
Great with fresh blueberries when in season, but frozen work well too.
