Blueberry Coffee Cake
This morning I realized I had these wild blueberries that needed to be used. I searched my pantry for what I had and started looking for a recipe to match. The result was a moist Blueberry Coffee Cake.
It is easy to throw together, bake, pour yourself a cup of hot coffee and indulge!
