US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin with butter.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg yolk and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the milk, then gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Optional Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
    Note: If the glaze is too thick, stir in a little more milk or cream. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency you like.

Notes

  • Prep First: Gather all ingredients and read through the steps before starting for a smoother baking experience.
  • Try Different Berries: Swap blueberries with cherries, raspberries, blackberries, or a mix for a new flavor.
  • Make It Cinnamon Only: Skip the fruit for a simple cinnamon coffee cake if you prefer a non-fruity version.
