Blueberry White Chocolate Coffee Cake




This is one of the cake that I like to kickstart my day with. It is not too sweet, has nibble of white chocolate, tart berries and crunchy almond topping. You may replace the almond with half cup of chopped hazelnuts.
This cake is so simple that you can prepare it in 10 minutes, bake it for 30 minutes and serve it in 10 minutes later. Deliciouzzzzz
