This is a lovely cake. However, the toothpick test lied to me, and mine was underdone in the middle. Bake it until light brown on top. I felt 2 tsp. lemon zest was too much, so I'll just do 1 tsp. or less next time. -
Great blueberry coffee cake! I used frozen blueberries. Mine took about 50 minutes to bake. -
Do not use frozen blueberries!!!! Just saying!

Love this recipe. Easy to make and I've even substituted other things..like craisins, chocolate chips...still comes out perfect! -
Made this as a quicky on a Sunday Morning and it was gone, gone in about 15 minutes. Everyone from the two year old twins through the twenty somethings to the seniors gobbled it up!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
