Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Happy National Coffee Cake Day!  Coffee cake is defined as "a cake, often cinnamon flavored, drizzled with white icing or crumb topping, and usually eaten with coffee." Searching through recipes, this Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake caught my eye.  My guys love blueberries, and cinnamon, and glaze, so I knew it would be a hit.

Unfortunately, I could not get fresh blueberries, so I went with frozen wild blueberries.  And I don't know what it is, but I always struggle with dividing batter.  I didn't get perfect layers, and despite being tossed with some of the flour, the berries sunk to the bottom of the cake in a few spots.  No matter, it still tasted amazing.

You'll notice there are no pictures of the sliced cake. My guys descended on this cake like a pack of hungry wolves, and they weren't concerned with leaving me pretty slices to photograph. Maybe next time. Thank you to Susan W. for sharing her recipe,  I'm looking forward to making this again with local blueberries, and with strawberries too!

Thanks so much to Wendy from A Day in the Life on the Farm for hosting, and to the #FestiveFoodies for sharing their recipes, be sure to check them out using the links at the bottom of the post!
