Nothin' says "summertime" quite like berries. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries - I love them all. I wanted to make a berry coffee cake for two reasons: (1) I just bought a gorgeous Fiestaware© 9x13 rectangular baker, and (2) our family went berry picking over the weekend. Here is one way to combine two breakfast favorites: berries and granola.
Sour cream coffee cakes are my favorite. Hands down I think they are the best coffee cakes because they are so moist. There's nothing worse than a dry coffee cake - except maybe a warm beer or cold french fries. Chocolate chip cookies are also my favorite. Combining the two is pure bliss. Adding brown sugar icing is just...icing on the cake. Sorry.
