Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe

Actually, the best thing about this recipe is that it can be made with any fruit you have on hand. I have strawberries, peaches, and a blueberry/strawberry combo. The combo was my favorite. The more flavors and textures I can pack in a dish the better! My mom works at a library and is the moderator for a book club. Edie brought this to share with the group. In turn, one day our favorite librarian arrived for a visit with a blueberry coffee cake, one of the books about Harold's purple crayon adventures, and an activity to complete the experience. A traveling story hour.
