Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Well grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan; set aside.

In small bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt with a fork; set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together cream cheese, canola oil, butter and applesauce until creamy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the sugar, and keep whisking until well mixed.

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each adding.

Add the vanilla extract, and whisk well.

Add the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until just incorporated and no dry spots remain.

Very gently fold in blueberries, the batter will be very thick.

Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

In small bowl with a fork mix together 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon.

Sprinkle over batter.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.

Note: The recipe can be easily scaled down, if you want to half the recipe, just use half amount of each ingredient, then bake in a well greased 8 by 8-inch baking pan for same amount of the time.

I made this coffee cake using Bob's Red Mills white whole wheat pastry flour.To my taste the cake is way to sweet with so much sugar. Next time I will only use one cup of brown sugar.Also less cooking time maybe 45mn,


but it is much to sweet for me. I will make it again this time with 1 cup of brown sugar.

Gisele, I actually used 1 cup brown sugar, because I already cut down the amount of sugar from the original recipe 1 1/2 cups sugar, so I was afraid that the cake would be not sweet enough for most people. That's why I put 1 1/4 cups in this recipe.

Clearly 1 1/4 cups sugar still was too much for you. I just updated the recipe to 1 cup sugar.

Thanks for your comment to let us know your thoughts. Happy Cooking :-)
