Mom having some
coffee-- got to have it along with
coffee cake!
All the ingredients
to make our
version of
Hobbee's popular blueberry coffee cake!
Here I am
cracking some eggs for the coffee cake. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Here I am again
mixing in the sour cream with the eggs
Beat together
the eggs (may need
to add one more to make it fluffy -- you can never have
too many eggs!), sour cream and Amarula.
Next, you
need to add the egg mixture to flour and blend
until smooth.
Grease a
9-inch square baking pan (you can use a smaller
pan but you will need to increase the baking time by
about 5 minutes or more).
After adding
together the sour cream and eggs, you add a 1/2
teaspoon of
Amarula
cream (from South Africa). We add
Amarula to everything as a substitute for vanilla ( or in addition).
It is so good!
Mix the
ingredients together!

Mom is here making
the stroodle for the coffee cake
The stroodle has
butter, sugar, and cinnamon. YUM!
|
| |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The next step is
to mix all of the ingredients together!
The stroodle is
looking good as well! Tastes a little nutty.
Okay-- the
batter is all mixed together-- and looks SO good!

Here is Mom
straining fresh blueberries and placing them on top of
the
coffee cake batter. Blueberries on top of the
coffee cake batter!
Spread the batter in
the pan. Distribute the blueberries and the nuts
over the batter and nudge them a bit so that they stay
in the top layer.
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|

In a small
bowl, mix about 5 tablespoons sugar with the butter and
cinnamon with a sturdy fork, until they are blended and
resemble cornmeal (i.e., you should have a mixture of
fine crumbs, not a smooth mixture). Sprinkle topping
over batter. |

After finishing
the stroodle, you put it
on top of the blueberries and coffee
cake batter! |
| |
| |
| |
 |
Bake for 20-25
minutes, until a clean toothpick inserted
in the center of the cake comes out dry. Cool slightly;
serve warm or at room temperature. And then..... cut
a piece for yourself and enjoy! It is absolutely fab!!!! :) |

The coffee cake
with Amarula. I first found out about Amarula cream
liquor when I was working for Total Media in South Africa- they were
one of our clients. It is really good, and I have used
it in so many
of my cooking recipes. From carrot cake to mudbars to
now coffee
cake-- a little taste of Amarula
reminds me of the fun times in
South Africa! |

Now
sit back with your morning cup of coffee and enjoy!
(in case you
were wondering, this is where the coffee comes in) |
