It’s not like I need an excuse to eat cake in the morning, because I’m an adult and I can do what I want, but I just feel so much better when I have a legitimate reason to eat sweets for breakfast. Does that make sense? I feel like this Blackberry Lemon Coffee Cake is the perfect excuse. There’s fresh fruit baked right in, so I know it has to be good for me. At least that’s what I’m telling myself, while I’m on my third slice. Coffee cake has got to be one of my biggest weaknesses, mainly because of the crunchy crumb/streusel topping. I can eat of bowl of that stuff by itself any day, forget the cake part. I’m like that with a lot of things now that I think about it; the crusts on pop-tarts, the crust on pies, the skin on fried chicken, the list can go on and on here. This cake is one of my latest contributions to GO BOLD WITH BUTTER, and I think it happens to be the perfect summer weekend baking project. Chances are you already have most of the ingredients at home. Go to your local farmer’s market or grocery store and pick up an berry that’s in season or whatever looks good to you and use that in this cake. It’s versatile and so easy to make. Cheers to the Weekend, my friends.
