This is a very tasty, and healthy, coffee cake. It is nice and moist, too. I felt good about serving this to my family. Thanks for posting! ~Made for the Spring 2010 Pick-A-Chef~

What a lovely cake this made Oregon Cook, my dh was in cake heaven. He loves blueberries and this was perfect for him. I didn't feel bad when he took a huge piece. The coffee cake was quick and easy to make, not too sweet with an interesting chewy texture. Made exactly as written, using frozen wild blueberries. I made this for the Fall Pac Orphanage 2011.
