Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake


Happy National Coffee Cake Day!  Coffee cake is defined as "a cake, often cinnamon flavored, drizzled with white icing or crumb topping, and usually eaten with coffee." Searching through recipes, this Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake caught my eye.  My guys love blueberries, and cinnamon, and glaze, so I knew it would be a hit.

Unfortunately, I could not get fresh blueberries, so I went with frozen wild blueberries.  And I don't know what it is, but I always struggle with dividing batter.  I didn't get perfect layers, and despite being tossed with some of the flour, the berries sunk to the bottom of the cake in a few spots.  No matter, it still tasted amazing.

You'll notice there are no pictures of the sliced cake. My guys descended on this cake like a pack of hungry wolves, and they weren't concerned with leaving me pretty slices to photograph. Maybe next time. Thank you to Susan W. for sharing her recipe,  I'm looking forward to making this again with local blueberries, and with strawberries too!

Thanks so much to Wendy from A Day in the Life on the Farm for hosting, and to the #FestiveFoodies for sharing their recipes, be sure to check them out using the links at the bottom of the post!

  4. I don't think it matters if a few blueberries fell or if your layers aren't perfect ... who cares - I bet it tasted AMAZING and it looks incredible!

    1. Yeah, while I was whining about the imperfect layers to the guys, they were tapping their feet and saying, "We don't care, we just want to eat it!"

  6. This does sound delicious with that glaze! I would descend on this cake too! I had a similar coffee cake once before with blueberries and walnuts and I loved it but lost the recipe. Can't wait to try this one.

    1. My guys are nut allergic so I don't use them, but I bet you could add them to the cinnamon layer and it would be amazing!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
