Before starting, preheat oven to 350ºF. Remove 6 tbsp butter from the fridge to soften. Grease a 9x5-inch metal baking loaf pan with 1 tsp softened butter. Line the base and sides of the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang off the sides. (TIP: The overhang will make it easy for you to remove the coffee cake from the pan later.)
Whisk together 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, half the cinnamon and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Add 2 tbsp softened butter. Using your fingertips, mix dry ingredients with butter until pea-sized clumps form. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your cinnamon streusel.)Sift 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, remaining cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt into another medium bowl, then whisk to combine.
Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup oil and 3/4 white sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, 1-2 min.Add egg. Beat until incorporated. Add half the flour mixture. Beat on low until combined, 30 sec.Add 2/3 cup milk and sour cream. Beat until smooth, 1 min.Add remaining flour. Beat until combined, 30 sec. Combine 2 tbsp batter and blueberry jam in a small bowl.Spread half the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop blueberry mixture over top, then, using a spatula, gently spread it towards the edges of the pan. Dollop remaining cake batter over top, then gently spread it into an even layer.
Scatter cinnamon streusel over batter. Bake cake in the middle of the oven until lightly golden-brown and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40-50 min.Allow cake to cool on a wire rack for 10 min before removing from the loaf pan.Allow cake to cool completely before cutting into slices with a sharp knife.
