Very Berry Coffee Cake
Not much could make a coffee cake better except maybe adding fresh berries! Very Berry Coffee Cake has blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and it’s out of this world good!
Growing up I though coffee cake was a cake made out of coffee and I avoided it like that plague. I’m so glad that I 1. starting drinking coffee and 2. realized that one of the best things to have in the morning with a nice warm cup of coffee is coffee cake! It’s so light and fluffy and topped with sugary, cinnamon crumbs. There really isn’t any need to keep going from a basic coffee cake unless you’re making a Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake or filling it with delicious ripe summer berries, to make this Very Berry Coffee Cake.
I can’t get enough berries now that I’m up here in Oregon. I went for a run yesterday and found some wild blackberries growing along the road. Seriously. Just growing wild like a delicious, beautiful, juicy weed! I was inspired by July 4th and decided to go the red and blue route, with blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. They add little pockets of fresh wonderfulness to every bite of this Very Berry Coffee Cake.
