Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake
While we have lots and lots of blueberries in our supermarket right now, the Florida blueberry season is over. It ends in May. A few years ago we went blueberry picking as a family but it was so very hot that spring that we haven’t gone since. I made this recipe as written but next time would add a bit of vanilla extract. Probably a teaspoon. Almond extract or lemon extract would also be delicious. I love the sprinkling of sugar on the top. My Mom always did that when she made her homemade blueberry muffins and I do it too. I also tossed the blueberries with a bit of flour so they wouldn’t sink into the batter in the pan. I love how there are hills and valleys in the finished coffee cake. Gives it interesting texture.
So grab a cup of coffee, tea or glass of milk and a slice of fresh blueberry coffee cake to start your day off right!
