"A co-worker brought this into the office the other day, and I think it is the best Blueberry coffee cake I have ever had! She tells me the recipe came from Cooking Light and brought me a paper copy, so putting in 'Zaar to share and so I don't lose it!! Cooking time does not include cooling time."

I must have done something wrong because mine was very dense and heavy. I used a flute pan so maybe that was the problem. I'm not an experienced baker, so I'm not sure.

What a delicious treat iewe. We loved it, great flavor and textures. The crumb on the cake was lovely. I used a combo of frozen blueberries and blackberries, because I didn't have enough berries. It worked great. It made a lovely large, light, moist cake. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

Made this to share here in our mobile home park with a small weekly group that gathers to socialize! Knowing how much I like to cook, they've been after me to bring something, & this was it! They're usually not big eaters OR munchers, but this treat lasted less than 30 minutes, so I guess it was enjoyed! Really enjoy making these kinds of things when blueberries are so fresh & flavorful! Will be making this one again! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars tag]
