This Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe is the perfect addition to brunch! It's made up of a soft, moist lemon coffee cake filled with cream cheese and blueberries, then topped with a crumbly streusel topping.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-10" Springform pan (mine is 9.5") with parchment paper (you can do this by laying it on the base and closing the sides around it with the paper sticking out the bottom), and spray with non-stick spray.
Make the crumble:
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, flour, sugar and vanilla until crumbly. Set aside.
Make the cake
In a large bowl, whisk together butter, oil and sugar for 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, vanilla, yogurt, lemon juice and zest and whisk until combined.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir just until combined. Stir in blueberries and set aside.
Cream cheese filling:
With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and lemon zest until smooth.
Assemble and bake
Spread ½ of the cake batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread cream cheese filling in the center -- try to stay away from the edge of the pan if possible.
Top with remaining cake batter and spread to cover as much of the cream cheese as possible.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes, or until center is set and does not jiggle when moved. It's a very moist cake, so don't worry about baking so long -- you don't want an unbaked center! it could take up to 80 minutes.
Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Let cake cool to room temperature (not a must but it will be easier to slice!) and drizzle the glaze over top. Serve.

Notes
*Frozen blueberries will release more moisture as they bake, so you may want to reduce the oil to 2 tablespoons if using frozen berries.
