Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a deep 9-inch round cake pan or spring form pan with butter or cooking spray; set aside. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in 3 tablespoons cold butter with fork until crumbly. Stir in the nuts. Set aside.
In large bowl, stir together all coffee cake ingredients except the blueberries; beat with a wooden spoon 30 seconds. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries. Spread batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of the blueberries and the crumb topping over the batter.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes; loosen edges of cake by running a knife around the edge of the pan and transfer to a serving plate, if desired. Cut into slices and serve.
