Preheat oven to 350℉. Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Prepare a 9" cake pan or coffee cake pan with baking spray.
Prepare the Ingredients
Using a knife or nut chopper, chop 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Wash and drain 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries in a colander. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir to coat. Set aside until ready to use.
Make the Crumb Topping
To make the crumb topping, in a small bowl combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, chopped pecans, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
With a blending fork, cut in 5 tablespoons butter until crumbly. Set aside.
Prepare the Cake Batter
In a small bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2/3 cups granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons butter (softened) until creamy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Add 2 large eggs one at a time, along with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Alternately add floured mixture to creamed sugar with 1/2 cup buttermilk.
Using a rubber spatula, fold prepared blueberries into the batter.
Spread batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top to make it even. Sprinkle the top with crumb topping.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until wooden toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. If using a Bundt-style pan, remove from pan at this time and place on a pretty cake or serving plate.
Make the Glaze
In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 teaspoons hot water, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle over slightly warm cake. Serves 12.
