BLUEBERRY BUCKLE COFFEE CAKE

BLUEBERRY BUCKLE COFFEE CAKE –Blueberries are my savior. My one saving grace. They may be the only thing getting me through summer right now.

You see, I have another one of those confessions to make.

I despise summer. With almost all my heart.

I’m winter’s child. With it’s snuggly sweaters, blazing hot fires, hearty bowls of soup and steaming pots of tea spiked with sweet honey that make you feel all cozy inside.

In the meantime, I’m happily stuffing my face with berries as I count down the days until I can warm my toes by the wood stove.

With berries invading every visible spot in my refrigerator it’s not hard to do.

And since they smack me in the face every time I open the fridge it’s only natural my mind wander to baking…

With 5 cups of blueberries, this coffee cake is bursting with blueberry joy. Add that to its crumbly, brown sugar topping and you’ve got yourself a worthy treat.

Warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream or cold with your morning coffee, it makes the dog days of summer almost bearable.

This recipe has been a classic for years: moist, easy to make, and liberally studded with juicy berries. It's the perfect way to make use of your berry-picking bounty, but it can be made at any time of year with frozen berries if you just can't wait for a forkful of summer.
