Review: I was searching for almond paste coffee cake recipes and that led me
to your site. Wow! 'Recipe Goldmine' really is the mother lode.
As for the coffee cake I wanted to bake for Mom on Mother's Day, I found
exactly what I had in mind and if I do say so myself, confirmed by my Mom, I was
delighted with the result. We were able to enjoy Almond Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee
Cake for brunch on our sundeck basking in the sun, overlooking the ocean in beautiful
West Vancouver, B.C. Anyone who loves almond flavour and blueberries will find this
coffee cake to be absolutely scrumptious and moist. I highly recommend it.
Congratulations on your wonderful site. I will have many enjoyable hours searching
for other delicious recipes.
