BLUEBERRY SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

The other day I was craving blueberries, and I have been wanting a coffee cake, so, while I was debating over what type of cake to make, and since I have been craving both, blueberries and coffee cake, I decided to put the two together. Blueberry sour cream coffee cake is what I came up with. This cake is super moist (which is rare for a coffee cake, or should I say, the ones I have had), and bursting with flavor, and a great way to start your morning. It’s good all day for that matter!
