BLUEBERRY STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE
This Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake is the perfect breakfast or snack! It is wonderfully moist, cinnamon-filled and full of blueberries!
I don’t know about you, but if I could, I’d eat coffee cake or some other kind of breakfast pastry for breakfast every day. What better way to start your day than with a little bit of cake. And when you call it “coffee cake” it magically becomes breakfast!
Of course the hubs still gets confused every time I make a coffee cake. He can’t seem to remember that it doesn’t actually have coffee. No, it just goes well with coffee. No actually, it’s perfect with coffee.
And because cinnamon and blueberries are the stars of this coffee cake, I layered them right into the batter with some streusel.
Streusel is one of the best things to happen to desserts. I recommend making the streusel first, so that when you’re ready to layer everything, you don’t have to stop and make it.
