With the birth of our 3rd baby fast approaching I’m finding myself trying everyday to accomplish things that will make the transition easier. \u00a0Having all the laundry cleaned and put away, keeping the kitchen well stocked (and relatively clean) for our older kids for when we’re in the hospital and someone else is watching them, washing newborn clothes for a girl and a boy, checking my hospital bag daily to be sure I haven’t forgotten anything, and going through my lists of baby names to narrow it down. \u00a0But what do I decide is the most important? \u00a0Making this coffee cake, of course. \u00a0Baking is a great way to procrastinate, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

\"Blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw this recipe for cream cheese coffee cake from Shugary Sweets<\/a> on Pinterest and immediately knew I needed to make it. \u00a0With a pint of beautiful blueberries in the fridge it became blueberry cream cheese coffee cake because there was just no other option.<\/p>\n

\"Blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

So I put this together, baked it, and let it cool. \u00a0No big deal. \u00a0And I had a little corner of it in the evening before I went to bed. \u00a0It was delicious. \u00a0In the morning I cut myself another square for breakfast. \u00a0Something wasn’t right. \u00a0It seemed a little underbaked. \u00a0I had baked it 5 minutes longer than instructed, so I was surprised. \u00a0As I cut a little more into the center I saw that it was mostly raw goo. \u00a0I was real bummed about it. \u00a0I tried to save what I could around the edges, but then I had to do one of the hardest things a sweets loving girl can do. \u00a0I had to scrape all of that goodness right into the trashcan. \u00a0Heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

Later in the day I restocked on blueberries, cream cheese, and butter and came home and did it all over again. \u00a0Because I’d originally misread the ingredients and messed up the streusel topping I was glad to have a second chance at it. \u00a0So I guess it was kind of a good thing that I underbaked it the first time? \u00a0Regardless, I wound up with this lovely cake when all was said and done and that makes it all worth it.<\/p>\n

This breakfast dish is delicious and quite decadent, but the blueberries make it good for you! \u00a0It’s fruit! \u00a0The berries also add a nice pop of color and a lovely tartness to each bite. \u00a0The cream cheese filling is amazing, and the crunchy streusel topping is the perfect counterpart to the smooth cake and creamy filling. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
