Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

The other day I was craving blueberries, and I have been wanting a coffee cake, so, while I was debating over what type of cake to make, and since I have been craving both, blueberries and coffee cake, I decided to put the two together. Blueberry sour cream coffee cake is what I came up with. This cake is super moist (which is rare for a coffee cake, or should I say, the ones I have had), and bursting with flavor, and a great way to start your morning. It’s good all day for that matter!

There is a little quaint restaurant, not far from where I live, that has a delicious coffee cake which they serve with butter and it is super delish! To order a whole cake it cost $28. I love theirs, and although I would pay that price, it was time to make my own. This blueberry sour cream coffee cake is delicious. It is also amazing served warm and smothered in butter. I love the moistness of this cake, along with the streusel topping, with the delicious taste of pecans, and the best part of all, the blueberries. So good!

You could always substitute other seasonal fruit in place of the blueberries if they are not available where you live.
