Today is National Coffee Cake Day and to celebrate I made Heather O's Berry Topped Coffee Cake from Taste of Home. It's not berry season here so had to rely on the grocery store offerings and I ended up with huge blueberries and strawberries.
Other than the fruit, I made a few small changes to the recipe. Since I had the cinnamon out for the topping I added some to the batter as well.
Instead of fat free milk in the glaze I used half and half, it was what I had on hand. I used the tines of a fork to drizzle it on in one direction, turned the rack and then drizzled in the other direction.
Loved the texture of the cake and the fantastic berry flavor. I enjoyed it with my coffee, my guys are not morning people so they had it for dessert.
Thanks to all of the other #NationalCoffeecakeDay bloggers for joining me today and sharing their recipes. Be sure to swing by and see what they made using the links down below!
