Blueberry Almond Coffee Cake

by Jamie

I’ve been searching for a great Blueberry Cake recipe, as of late. Would you believe me if I told you I’ve made 4 over the past few months that were all just…meh. Nothing great or spectacular at all. And then, I came acrossed this heavenly recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to give it a try. Ladies and gentlemen, you will be happy to know that it is a pure delight. The cake is moist and rich with a heavenly almond and butter flavor. It’s full of sweet, plump blueberries, layered with sliced almonds and drizzled with a silky glaze.

You could serve it for breakfast, or as a dessert…either would be fabulous.

This sounds delicious but I was wondering if you could bake it in a springform pan as just one cake as opposed to making two cakes, obviously baking time would be adjusted.

Suellen,
Thanks for your question. I haven’t ever tried this recipe in a springform pan. My thoughts are that it might be a bit difficult to make the cake stay together well. This particular recipes is quite light in texture. If you do try it let me know how it goes!
Best,
~Jamie

It took over an hour to solidify.
