Happy March!
A nice month, indeed!
Lots of birthdays and the beginning of spring...
Kristen from Wishing for Pine Needles had spotted this recipe on Pinterest which by the way sort or reminds me of that old commercial for shampoo. (Pinterest, not the recipe) Can't remember the name of the product, but the ad went something like, "and they told two friends and they told two friends and they told two friends" and so forth and so on...
Anyway, I don't know if it was a good thing that Kristen spotted it, made it and shared a few slices with us, but I went home that same day, looked it up on Pinterest and made the recipe too.
I doubled it like she did and had to add in extra baking time. It is not overly sweet and has a touch of sugar on the top which also looks pretty. It has buttermilk in it instead of sour cream. Well...the blueberry coffeecake lasted only 2 days in our house! So of course, I had to make more... but with variations...
We tried a pineapple & orange combo. I sprinkled brown sugar on the top of this one. It was just 'okay'...
...and a raspberry lemon variation. This one was better. Both were just a tad dry, as was the original one. All three are more 'cakey'. The texture reminds me of a scone. Truly, I think that the blueberry one was better...so far.
Perhaps something with apple & cinnamon or chocolate? That would be good. Hmm...actually I think I'll stop making anymore right now so I don't end up eating too much of it my kids don't eat too much of it.
