Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake Recipe

Serving our overnight guests pancakes or eggs is nice but sometimes I like to mix things up a bit. In Southern Living’s  October Issue they had a Breakfast bread section that included the “Any Flavor Buttermilk Coffee Cake”.

Since I am a sucker for quick breads and we were having overnight guests, I thought I would give it a whirl and adapt it slightly.

So here is my Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake Recipe that will become a year-round keeper as you can change the fruits and nut combo for the season or use frozen ones as I did.

This time around we made sure our cake was a little cooler and our buttermilk and confectioners sugar glaze was thick.  I think it looks amazing this time around.
