To be honest, this Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe came together as a total fluke! My 🫐 blueberries were going bad so I thought I would just try to incorporate them into a very simple coffee cake batter. I crossed my fingers, popped it in the oven and hoped for the best. It turned out so delicious and absolutely perfect and I didn’t have to waste any of my blueberries that were going soft on me. These are the types of cakes that my grandma used to make and they were always the best because they only require a few ingredients in a bowl.
