Say HELLO to my favorite breakfast/brunch sweet comfort food!
Throughout this post, instead of “Blueberry Coffee Cake”, auto-correctkept on changing it to,“Beautiful Coffee Cake”…Even auto-correct knows what’s UP!
HI HEY! What’s going on, pretty friends?? It’s the weekend! Hooray!
It’sapparent that just like Friends reruns, Three’s Company reruns AND Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, I cannot get enough of cakes.I am straight-up infatuated with them.
I even have a whole Pinterest Board dedicated to just Cakes. They’re SO pretty! 1 layer, 10 layer, lemon cake, chocolate cake, coffee cake… I don’t discriminate, I love ’em all!
BUT, since I’m a coffee fiend, coffee-cakes and I hang out together quite often.
So it’s only appropriate that I dedicate an entire post to my all-time favorite, super adaptable, absolutely and totally deliciousLightened-Up Blueberry Coffee Cake.
Couple years back I ran across the recipe for this particular cake and I have been making it ever since. I honestly have a hard time NOT making it every weekend.If something seems to be lacking in my life, this cakejust magically pops into my mind, like, heeeey, pal! Make me and things will be well again!Then I answer back, like, Ummm…OKAY!And oooo-ey, things really ARE great again!
The other beauty of this cake is that it’s really flexible and totally customizable. However, what you really need to remember is that it’s only 220 calories per slice. If you cut it as thin as I do, it can be 150 calories per slice. Which will leave enough room for an omelette beforehand. Just sayin’.
ENJOY!
