I found the recipe of this lemon blueberry cream cheese coffee cake a while ago. I even saved it to my bookmarks, but somehow I never managed to try it out.
Until today. When grey and rainy morning almost ruined my mood, I stumbled upon a cup of blueberries in my fridge that a bought a while ago and completely forgot about. So I decided to finally try this recipe.

And it turned up exactly what I needed to bring some sunshine into this day! Moist and creamy, sweet and lemony, dense and light at the same time – this coffee cake is a perfect addition to a cup of hot Earl grey tea (my cure for rainy days like this).
Thank you, Ashley, for this wonderful recipe! 🙂
