Blueberry Pecan Crumble Coffee Cake - homemadehome.com

My internet and I are having nightly fights. It throws a tantrum, I dip my spoon into the jar of Nutella. Sooo, basically I’ve been eating a lot of Nutella and having a really hard time blogging lately. I spend so much time trying to figure out what to tell you everyday just as the interwebs throws itself down on my floor and starts kicking and screaming, everything that I want to write goes out the window. So naturally, when I finally get the chance to tell you all about my fiddle-de-day, this is what happens – word vomit. Lucky you. That was sarcasm, I know it doesn’t translate well over the internet. But I DO have something worth while to talk about – this Blueberry Pecan Crumble Coffee Cake.

Something else I’ve been doing a lot of lately is sneezing. And Huck has been itching. It’s spring – it’s what happens. The poor dude is a contradiction in and of himself. He’s got all the stereotypical health problems like many pure bred labradorks do, he’s got the hip dysplasia and ligament issues causing him to bunny run. Then he’s allergic to E.v.e.r.y.THANG!! Trees? All of them. Grasses, yup. Dust? Oh yeah. Considering that 90% of the dust in my house is because of him, he’s practically allergic to himself. To top it all off on the irony meter – he’s a bird dog allergic to feathers.

But that really doesn’t have anything to do with my internet. Spring has sprung – and I finally planted my garden, I’ve been consuming fruits like there is no tomorrow and throwing blueberries into everything, from these blueberry cottage pancakes, Monday I have a Blueberry Protein Smoothie (it’s that purdy lookin’ thing below) coming at you with a fantastic giveaway from AlbionFit for a Showstopper Swimsuit that is to die for. I’ll be in Florida in two weeks, and I finally get to show off all that hard work I’ve been putting in at the gym. Hopefully my so-white-I’m-practically-glow-in-the-dark skin won’t scare too many pool goers away.

But back to the main point of this word-vomity post – the blueberry crumble coffee cake was the main point and most important thing. So here’s the recipe below. I can’t get enough. No. Really. The pan is ¾ gone because of me. *hangs head in shame*

  2. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 2 hours.
  3. Lift it out of the pan, using the edges of the foil, onto a cutting board, and cut into 12 servings.
