Blueberry Coffee Cake with Lemon Glaze

Blueberry Coffee Cake with Lemon Glaze is a crumbly cake filled with fresh blueberries, topped with sliced almonds and a decadent lemon glaze.

I’d like to shout THANK YOU to the person who invented the idea of coffee cake. Such a brilliant excuse to eat cake for breakfast. Truth is that I made this coffee cake for a dinner dessert. But I did make sure there was a piece set aside for my breakfast the next morning.

When I use berries in my cakes I never skimp on the amount and this Blueberry Coffee Cake with Lemon Glaze is proof with a big burst of blueberry in every bite. I also use fresh lemon juice in my glaze which makes it pop with a bright lemony flavor. Don’t tell, but the lemon glaze is so yummy, I liked the bowl clean.
