New Post after two weeks!Jet lag for little one kept me off from doing any blog related activity. Meantime hubby helped me in structuring the page. Today is my hubby's birthday, and since I am on my vacation I couldn't bake anything for him. So here is my scheduled virtual cake:-) Blueberry Coffee Cake is so special for me as this is my very first baking attempt. Back in 2012 when we where in UK during thanksgiving day, I saw Giada's Blueberry Walnut Cake recipe in food network. Since the recipe didn't call for electric mixer, decided to take a brave attempt for over Anniversary. Still remember the way I was restless visiting the kitchen every 10 minutes to see the oven from outside:-) Original recipe called for crumb topping but those days I was not familiar with it. So I mashed the topping ingredients together and ended up with the texture in this recipe, though it was not crumb we liked it and till date continuing the same way:-)
